About Perelada Garrigal Vinyes Velles

Walking through Alt Empordà is to become accustomed to a stark, vibrant landscape where low vegetation struggles to carve its path amidst dry, stony soils. The garrigue is not merely an expanse of evergreen shrubs, thyme bushes, rosemary, and small holm oaks that thrive under the sun. It is the authentic aroma of a land that has withstood the test of time and the persistence of the tramontana, the typical wind of the area. In this setting, where the natural degradation of the soil creates an ecosystem of astonishing authenticity, plants learn to coexist with scarcity. Capturing that Mediterranean essence, the crunch of dry earth, and the finesse that only maturity can bestow, is the driving force behind this project, a tribute to the vegetation that shelters and scents the vineyards.

From Mollet de Peralada, in the very heart of the DO Empordà, the winery Perelada has found the perfect stage to express this character. The wine specifically originates from the finca La Garriga, a historic 41-hectare estate where the light and air of the Mediterranean Sea bathe a unique vineyard. Within this landscape, 26 hectares are home to its oldest vines, aged between 60 and 80 years. The soil is composed of gravel and Paleozoic pebbles, a poor and rocky terrain type locally known as aspres. This soil, combined with a Mediterranean climate of dry summers and strong winds, forces the roots to delve deep in search of nutrients, developing a remarkable drought resistance. For this red wine, 9 hectares exclusively cultivated with the cariñena variety are selected, a historic grape type worked through a traditional bush vine cultivation philosophy, respecting the balance and biodiversity of the environment.

The winemaking process follows a procedural and respectful approach to preserve the landscape's typicity. The grapes are hand-harvested at their optimal ripeness, carefully transported, and destemmed upon arrival at the facilities. The fruits are left to macerate with their skins to extract all the color and aromatic compounds of the variety. Subsequently, the must ferments in tanks at a controlled temperature, undergoing spontaneous alcoholic fermentation. Once completed, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, the technical process that transforms the sharper malic acid into lactic acid, imparting smoothness and stability. After this step, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for a period of 7 months, a measured time in which the wood complements the fruit without overshadowing it. Finally, the red wine is clarified and bottled.

The result is an elegant, balanced red wine with a distinctly Mediterranean personality that showcases a broad expression of the old cariñena. An honest, mature, and fresh wine that transports one directly to the shrubland landscape of Alt Empordà.
