DO Empordà Wine Route 6Introduction

Prologue

Wine has the magic to make us dream and to transport us to landscapes that are conducive to reading, contemplation or focusing on the pleasure of the senses. Without going so far as to say that it is essential for the survival of humanity, it can be claimed that wine helps to strengthen cultural heritage and that it brings together gastronomy, landscape and leisure. Now, more than ever, society is lacking in elements that bring us close to nature and that provide us with healthy pleasures, that create pockets of time in which to connect with the people we care for, that bring us positive energy in today’s world, shaping it, looking after it, enabling us to explore feelings of respect, wonder and belonging. Empordà, the cultural birthplace of wine, with its beauty spots and natural parks, is one place where all of this is possible.

This Wine Route serves as a starting point for associating wine with other cultural and sensory areas. The aim is to channel all aspects related to the world of Empordà wine through a set of routes that offer an exciting way

of engaging with the vine shoots of Empordà, and along which 24 wineries will throw open their doors for you and plenty of surprises lay in wait, bringing you the all-encompassing enjoyment generated by wine. Over the following pages you will discover hotels, restaurants, wine bars, wine therapy treatments and activity companies related to the world of wine. You will be surprised by kilometres of dry stone walls stretching ahead of you, caressing twisted vine stocks. You will stroll in areas of clayey soil, amid slabs of red, black and bituminous slate, on sandy soils, granite, granitic sand, clayey limestone, gravel, grit and marl, calcareous clayey and siliceous soils, pebbles and black basalts. You will embark on a journey through time from the ancient Greek and then Roman city of Empúries to the summit of Benedictine wisdom, embodied by the majestic monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes.

This is an attractive tool for wandering around the small towns of Empordà, appreciating colour and light and listening to the whisper of ever-changing nature, for

Now, more than ever, society is lacking in elements that bring us close to nature and that provide us with healthy pleasures, that create pockets of time in which to connect with the people we care for, that bring us positive energy in today’s world.


going on foot trails on the plain or in the mountains, following one of the many themed routes (barracas or rustic huts, monasteries, phylloxera, history and cooperatives), or the Albera (sea) route, taking in an ocean of vines from the Cap de Creus headland to the Gavarres Massif, and even a literary and pictorial route.

Perceiving fragrances. Enjoying the aromas of a stroll by the sea, amid marine fennel, mastic, gorse and heather, combined with the saltiness of the waves as they crash against the slate that slices into the sea on the Cap de Creus headland... Taking that inaugural spring walk in the mountains and feeling the earth as it wakes from its mineral slumber and starts to pulsate amid medicinal perfumes. Admiring the white explosion of the blossoming almond tree and the tears of the vines, following the routes of the dolmens and menhirs. Breathing in the aroma of February’s sleepy yellow mimosa, strolling among the vines. Skirting around the glistening saltwort edges of the Empordà wetlands and, in the distance on the hill, glimpsing vine stocks standing in the arid earth.

Paying attention to the cycle of the plant, touching the earth, understanding the tears of the vine, the ephemeral moment of the blossom, and the echo of the strength of summer in the vine stock, observing how the vine shoots spread until they reach the fullness of the bursting fruit that creates the work. Nature offers you a fascinating experience, a landscape that will linger in your memory.

Prepare to taste fine, flavoursome, generous, thoughtful, serious, accessible and joyful wines brimming with authenticity and seasoned by the tramuntana sky, and to sample an entrepreneurial vitality. Enjoy this guide with the optimism emanating from an Empordà focused on wine tourism, strengthened by the gastronomic excellence of its essential and luminous local cuisine, now more than ever.

Josep Roca, of “El Celler de Can Roca” (3 Michelin *), named the World’s Best Restaurant 2013 by Restaurant Magazine.

DO Empordà Wines

Empordà is one of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world. Since the ancient Greeks first settled in the area, Empordà has enjoyed several periods of splendour, and we are hoping that the current horn of plenty will never run dry! In September 2005, influential wine guru Robert Parker put Empordà on the world wine-producing map when he wrote in The Wine Advocate, “What a discovery these terrific wines from … Empordà are! Could [this] be the next Priorat?”

The Empordà landscape is so quintessentially Mediterranean that the first farmers in the area decided to use the plains for planting olive trees and the slopes for planting vines on terraces separated by dry-stone walls. The system has continued for over two thousand years, and has survived icy weather, torrential rains and north winds tearing through the wheat fields.

The best vines in Empordà are found on these terraces, where the dry-stone walls prevent soil erosion; the most spectacular are the “green vines by the sea”, in

the words of Catalan poet Josep Maria de Sagarra. The Empordà area has entered the 21st century with excellent red wines, updated rosé wines providing a link with the past, white wines making their way onto the market, and sweet wines, especially Empordà garnacha, which are outstanding examples of their kind. The area produces ten white grape varieties and ten red grape varieties. White garnacha, macabeo and muscat of Alexandria are the most popular white varieties, while samsó and red garnacha are the favoured red varieties.

The monestrell grape is associated with Empordà in viticulture and ampelography studies. Medieval scholar Francesc Eiximenis (Girona c. 1330 - Perpignan 1409) extolled monestrell in a chapter of his Terç del Crestià.

He added advice on the subject in his manual Com usar bé de beure e menjar (How to eat and drink correctly), which contains a letter from a gluttonous clergyman asking a doctor for advice on his life regime: “Sir, you should know that I am not in full health and am unable to eat hardly at all, as I rarely feel hungry. I shall

describe my life regime so that you may see whether this is good and wholesome for my health. On rising, I eat some warm bread and drink a cup of fermented wine or grec [...] As regards white wine, I drink grec in summer and fermented wine in winter, or moscatell, malvasia, trebbiano, Corsica, malvasia candia, genovese or garnacha. (...) I cannot drink the red wines from this land, so in summer, I drink Santo Noceto from Calabria, Tropea or Trilla, picapoll from Mallorca, rossete or clarets from Avignon. In winter, I drink red wines from Madrid in Castile, or fine Spanish wines, or Gascon wines, or monestrell from Empordà. (...) For supper, I drink wine from Beaune or Saint Pourçain, and then bathe my legs with refreshing waters.”

The DO Empordà comprises 2020 hectares of vineyards in the counties of Alt Empordà and Baix Empordà, with 423 winegrowers and 45 wineries registered with the Regulatory Council, and an estimated annual production of approximately 50,000 hectolitres or 3.5 million bottles of wine.

When Miquel Mateu acquired Peralada Castle in 1923, one of his dreams was to bring back the winegrowing tradition of the 14th century, when excellent wine was already being produced by the Carmelite monks of the convent that stands next to the castle. This is how the Castillo Perelada winery came into being. It is located in the heart of Empordà, a county that enjoys outstanding geographical and climate conditions thanks to its proximity to the Mediterranean and due to the extraordinary variety of its soils. Today, Castillo Perelada

is known as one of the most prestigious and charismatic wineries in the country.

The art of wine growing has been cultivated by several civilisations in Empordà and this small geographical area boasts a variety of soils found hardly anywhere else the world: slate slopes, sandy valleys, river sediment, lime and clay-rich earth, gravel soils... Thanks to the wide variety of the soils in which its vines grow, Castillo Perelada obtains grapes with a dazzling array of nuances.

Celler Arché PagèsFamily-owned winery located in the town of Capmany. Five generations of winegrowers have cultivated the estate’s 14 hectares of vineyards, in which mainly the indigenous varieties of the area are planted: garnacha and cariñena. The company exercises absolute control over the entire process, from pruning the vines to selling the wine. This modern and dynamic winery offers visitors the

chance to visit its facilities in the company of the winegrower and winemaker, to stroll through the vineyards and to taste wines with a distinctive personality (Sàtirs, Cartesius and Bonfill).

The Brugarol winery is almost buried on the boundary between the vineyards and woodland. The winery building, designed by the RCR architecture studio of Olot, is surprising in its audacity and its perfect symbiosis with nature. On the surface, the parallel steel panels sloping in different directions are an original way of conferring a structured yet dynamic order on the complex as a whole. Meanwhile, the

underground area is made up of a labyrinth of dark, insulated and cool passageways equipped with climate control. To enter this area is to penetrate into a world of shadows. Down here the silence can be heard, the aroma of the wine can be perceived, the strength of the materials can be felt and, when it comes to tasting the wines, all five senses are finally stimulated.

Founded in 1931, the Celler Cooperatiu Espolla is one of the most long-established wine companies in the county of Alt Empordà.

Over the years, in addition to gaining new members, the cooperative has increased the diversity of the terrains and soils of its estates, now possessing granite,

clay and slate soils at altitudes of up to 150 metres. The proximity of the Mediterranean sea, the buttresses of the Albera Massif and the dry tramuntana (north wind) together shape a landscape and environment in which traditional Empordà grape varieties grow alongside other more recently incorporated ones.

La Vinyeta is one of the youngest and most dynamic DO Empordà projects. Its owners, Josep and Marta, are two young entrepreneurs who set up the business in 2002 with just 4 hectares of old vines located in Mollet de Peralada. Starting with these vine stocks, and with the know-how of the previous

owner, they planted additional vineyards. In 2006 they built the cellar and began to produce their first bottles. In the space of just a few years, La Vinyeta has received numerous plaudits and has earned the appreciation of many visitors, drawn to the winery by a very personal service.

In the year 2000 the Martín Faixó family embarked on a pioneering project: the recovery of the vines in the Cap de Creus Natural Park. The first grape harvest took place four years later with the help of family and friends, and, continuing the tradition of previous generations, was carried out by hand. The winery’s first wines, christened as Cadac and Perafita, reached the market in 2007, certified with the Denomination of Origin Empordà seal. The wines of Martín Faixó, produced in Cadaqués, owe their

name to the Sa Perafita farmhouse, a 14th century building located between Roses and Port de la Selva. The family purchased the building in 2003 with the aim of converting it into a rural hotel and winery. The wines that emerge from its barrels have real personality gained from a mineral-rich soil bathed by two seas and caressed by the tramuntana wind. These influences are perfectly embodied in the cellar’s top-of-the-range Cadac wine.

Empordàlia is a cooperative located in Empordà, the Catalan county with the most distinctive historical and cultural character, and which has succeeded in combining the past and present in its finest offerings: the fruits of the vine and the olive tree. Empordàlia is a living chronicle of ancient cellars, filling each bottle with history and quality under the DO Empordà label. The cooperative works an area of land small enough

to be tended by hand: 500 hectares of ancient olive trees and 250 hectares of old vine stocks and younger vines, set in a rocky landscape, swept by the tramuntana wind, watered occasionally by the rain and seasoned by the saltiness of the sea, a place that receives the peninsula’s first rays of sun, by which time activity is well under way.

Wine is made on the vine, between the wind and the sea. The sun and climate of Empordà forge its character while the winery provides all the passion and care to make drinking it an emotional experience. Espelt has been founded by members of a long line of winemakers who understand that the culture of

wine lies in agriculture, quality, creativity and passion. The winemaking tradition of Empordà and the love for the earth and its fruits are what led those behind the project to plant vines in the Cap de Creus Natural Park, to set up the Espelt winery and to sell its wines.

Gelamà is no ordinary winery. History, family warmth and the aroma of wines emanate from every corner of its facilities, farmhouse and vineyards. In 1892, Raimundo de Falgàs began his career in this company, which over time would become one of the most important wineries in Alt Empordà, specialising in the

production of cava. The Spanish Civil War marked a new chapter in his career and led to the end of activity in the winery; four generations later, Maria Fernanda Pedret de Falgàs and her son, Roger Rius, have decided to revive the family tradition and relaunch the brand that was so productive in its day.

All of the company’s products have their own genetic footprint and breathe the authenticity of Empordà thanks to its passion and personal approach, from the cultivation and care of the vines and olive trees to the more creative side, which comes to the fore when conceiving these products. The results of Masetplana’s work are based on patience and dedication, and on the wish to provide maximum enjoyment.

Masia Serra has been producing quality wines since 1996, when Jaume Serra and his wife, Sílvia, decided to start up their own winemaking and wine tourism project with the vine stocks planted by his grandparents in 1961, together with those added by his parents in 1990.

Wine production began in the very farmhouse that his parents had constructed right next to the entrance to the estate, located in Cantallops. The winery you see today has been gradually built over years with a great deal of hard work. Today, Masia Serra produces a crémant, a 100% white garnacha white wine (Ctonia), three red wines (Io, Aroa y Gneis), a 100% red garnacha

dessert wine (Ino) with an 1860 solera, and an oil made 100% from the argudell variety of olives (Dara). The vines of Masia Serra are located right at the foot of the Albera Massif, at the start of the climb towards Recasens Castle. They grow in a granite soil that gives the wines great personality. In this idyllic spot, Jaume and Sílvia have created El Recés, an ideal place for getting away from it all and soaking up their passion for wine and for the soil. Here they sit around the table with their visitors, who can sample their wines, accompanied (if they wish) by a wonderful selection of delicacies. All of this after a full tour of the vineyards and winery facilities.

Built in the year 2000 on the estate after which it is named, Mas Llunes is a modern winery that specialises in the production of wine from the grapes grown in the estate’s vineyards. It is owned by the Roig de Garriguella family, which has been closely involved in the world of winegrowing in Empordà for several generations.

The winery was set up with the goal of continuing the family tradition, based on the conviction that Empordà is an outstanding area for obtaining top quality wines with personality, and on the wish to participate in the efforts of the county’s winemakers, who are contributing to increasing its prestige.

Mas Oller is situated in a territory where the sea and mountains come together, clearly marked by the presence of the north wind, the tramuntana, and by the diversity of its soils (clayey, sandy and slatey). The estate currently has 12 hectares of wine-producing vines and 4 hectares of newly planted vines.

The approach of Mas Oller is based on reviving the winegrowing tradition of Empordà, with a modern interpretation of the concept of wine. The winery is

named after the 18th century farmhouse in which it produces prestigious and award-winning wines that have made it synonymous with high quality.

Both the winery and vineyards can be visited at Mas Oller, while the enoteca offers visitors the chance to purchase and taste the wines that it produces in an idyllic setting.

The Santamaria winery is situated right next to the historical centre of Capmany. The origins of this family company date back to around 1877, when Gregori Artizà obtained the medal for perfection in the National Wine Exhibition.

Two wine ageing cellars can be visited on the estate, one dating from 16th century, built in the Romanesque/Gothic style, and the other dating from the turn of the 20th century. There is also a museum

in which the family’s old utensils are on display, along with all sorts of documents, such as an 1879 decree in which the civil governor of Girona appoints Gregori Artizà to monitor and detect phylloxera in the province.

The winery, which has been producing the Gran Recosind wine since 1980, was one of the first to implement oak barrel ageing for DO Empordà wines.

Setzevins, one of the smallest DO Empordà wineries, is located in Espolla, within the Albera Natural Site of National Interest. The project began in 2003 with the recovery of an old vineyard with cariñena grapes that had been planted in 1949 and was about to be pulled up. Two newly-planted vineyards were added in 2004 (one with garnacha grapes and the other with syrah

grapes), which afford a wonderful panoramic view of the town, the Banyuls pass and Roses Bay.

Setzevins produces quality wines, with character, a fundamental structure and essential expression. It produces around 4,000 bottles per vintage.

Terra Remota is a winery that is highly sensitive to its surroundings and, consequently, is strongly committed to becoming integrated within its environment. These concepts form the core of Terra Remota’s philosophy and govern its approach in all respects.

The winery is owned by Marc and Emma Bournazeau, a French couple with Catalan roots; Emma Bournazeau’s grandfather was a Catalan who emigrated to France just after the Spanish Civil War, settling in Perpignan. For this family, and especially

for Claude Florensa, Emma’s father, Terra Remota represents the recovery of a lost identity and, in short, a return to its origins that has helped to assuage the nostalgia associated with exile.

Vineyards and woodland are interspersed on the estate and the winery building not only merges into the natural setting but also incorporates a gravity-flow production system that involves minimal handling.

The result is a top quality wine and an enchanting landscape.

This small and traditional family-owned winery produces wines only from its own harvest using basically indigenous Empordà varieties. Although the Vinyes dels Aspres brand is new, it has been launched by the long-established winemakers of Can Batlle de Cantallops, the northernmost town of the winemaking area of Empordà, and surely the most exposed to the tramuntana wind.

In Vinyes dels Aspres, tradition and modernity combine to create authentic and indigenous wines with real personality, wines aged in quality wood and very special dessert wines, the result of a careful process that respects its surroundings; in short, a series of painstakingly produced wines that express the spirit of this windswept part of the world, poor in resources and rich in essence.

DO Empordà Wine Route 92Culture

Culture

Culture on the Costa Brava and in the Pirineu de Girona stretches all the way back to the dawn of civilisation. Starting our journey in prehistoric times, we find megalithic monuments in the massifs of Albera and Les Gavarres, prehistoric caves in Serinyà and the ancient Iberian settlement of Ullastret, along with Romanesque, Gothic, baroque and modernist buildings scattered throughout the area. Our coast was visited and settled (especially for trading purposes) by the Greeks, Carthaginians and Romans, who not only left their imprint here but built towns such as Empúries, where today we can follow in the footsteps of those ancient visitors. The Middle Ages have left us exceptional works of architecture, such as the monasteries of Sant Pere de Rodes and Ripoll, whose stones speak to us of a thousand years of life and culture.

In recent years, through the eyes of artists, especially the masterly Salvador Dalí, we have discovered a new vision of our cultural and scenic surroundings, portrayed in priceless works of art. Today, the Dalí Triangle, consisting of the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, the Gala Dalí Castle-Museum in Púbol and the Dalí House-Museum in Portlligat, allows us to go on an almost metaphysical journey through a world of tormented nature and unique, idyllic settings.

In addition to the Dalí sites, in the counties of Girona you will find over 55 museums, 550 monuments and renowned exhibition venues, such as the Carmen Thyssen Space in Sant Feliu de Guíxols.

The Middle Ages have left us exceptional worksof architecture, such as the monasteries of Sant Pere de Rodes and Ripoll, whose stones speak to us of a thousand years of life and culture.

DO Empordà Wine Route 94Cuisine

Cuisine

Defining what constitutes culture is a virtually impossible task. The relationship between culture and cuisine is almost innate, to such an extent that Salvador Dalí once said, “Beauty should be edible, or not at all”. The cultural aspect represented by cuisine in our society is experiencing a veritable renaissance, with such notable innovators as Ferran Adrià, among others. Even so, our gastronomy is multiple and varied, and is based on honest, home-style cooking that is very closely linked to our traditional roots. If we spoke

in the previous section about culture that can be seen, our cuisine might be viewed as culture that can be experienced and enjoyed. Its high professional standards mean that behind every restaurant door you will find an excellent culinary experience, with first-class establishments on an international scale.

In 2013 El Celler de Can Roca was named the World’s Best Restaurant by Restaurant Magazine.

Each restaurant offers an excellent dining experience.

DO Empordà Wine Route 96Nature and activity holidays

Nature and activity holidays

Outlined by the Pyrenees to the north and bathed by the Mediterranean Sea to the east, the counties of Girona are the perfect setting for enjoying outdoor activities. Thanks to its proximity to the Mediterranean, this end of the Pyrenees boasts a mild climate and a unique landscape. Visitors are immediately struck by the area’s nature, with colours that change with the seasons, and by the wide range of sports and cultural activities on offer in the counties.

The magnificent sea and mountain setting is ideal for enjoying nature while having fun with adventure sports. Combine state-of-the-art modernity with a journey into the past, exploring the legacy of Romanesque art and the traditions that celebrate the origins of this rich land. All of this can be found in the same destination, with many different facets but one common denominator: a love of adventure.
