Talking about the landscape of a place is always a difficult task, given the complexity of factors involved and the varying viewpoints therein.
However, the one thing the Priorat has is its uniqueness.
The DO Montsant is a land where the landscape and the wine have gone hand in hand throughout the centuries and where even the old vines, cared for as authentic treasures, have History with capital letters. A Story that, with renewed drive and enthusiasm, walks towards the future.
The production and processing area of DO Terra Alta (DOTA) is in the southern part of Catalonia between the River Ebro and the border with Aragon. It takes in the 12 towns in the county of la Terra Alta.
The origin of Cava is associated to the splendour of Catalan viticulture by mid 19th century. The studies of microbiology carried out by Louis Pasteur applied to wine, involved a control of the second fermentation in the bottle and the discovery of cork allowed to avoid the losing of bubbles produced in the wine. The Champenoise or traditional method was born this way.
