This Catalan region in northeast Spain spreads towards the Montserrat mountain range that shields it from the cold north winds. The mild winters protect the vineyards from frost and rains help the vines remain healthy heading into spring budbreak. As the summer approaches, the sunshine and the low humidity from the proximity to the Mediterranean help a balanced enrichment of sugar, acid and primary aromas; perfect for the production of Cava (D.O. sparkling wines).
