Catalunya (non-Priorat)

by Annandale Cellars

Catalunya outside of Priorat is one of Spain’s most diverse and underappreciated wine areas. With a wide range of climates, altitudes, and styles, the region produces everything from crisp Mediterranean whites to structured reds and high-quality sparkling wines. It offers excellent value and stylistic variety. 

LOCATION: 
Catalunya is located in northeastern Spain, stretching from the Pyrenees in the north to the Mediterranean coast. 

TERROIR:
The region encompasses coastal Mediterranean zones, inland plains, and higher-altitude mountain vineyards. Soils range from limestone and clay to granite and alluvial deposits. Coastal influence moderates temperatures near the sea, while inland areas experience more continental conditions. 

VARIETIES: 
Xarel·lo, Macabeo, and Parellada dominate white production, particularly for sparkling wines. Garnacha, Cariñena, and Tempranillo are the most common reds, with increasing plantings of international varieties. 

PRODUCERS:
