Emporda
Organic Conversion
Low Sulphur
DO Emporda, is located in the very North-East corner of Catalunya and has around 2000 ha under vine. It is a non-continuous territory split between Alt-Emporda (which runs up to the foot of the Pyrenees and has granitic slate soil) and Baix-Emporda (which bulges into the med around the town of Figueres and has sandy-alluvial soils). However, perhaps the biggest influence on the vines, in which Carignan (Samsó), black and white Grenache and Cabernet dominate, is the powerful, cold Tramontana wind from the north. Reaching speeds of 120 kmph it is integral in keeping the vines fresh, reducing Mildew and making organic farming just that little bit easier.
La Vinyeta is one of the youngest and most dynamic projects within the DO Empordà region. Nestled amid vines and olive groves in the superb location of Mollet de Peralada, the winery was founded by Josep and Marta Serra. They began their journey in 2002 with just four hectares of old vines, primarily Carignan and Grenache, aged 55 and 80 years old, respectively. By 2006, they had built a modern winery and produced their first bottles of wine. Today, La Vinyeta spans 30 hectares and is known for its commitment to sustainability, having been one of the first to adopt Integrated Farming practices in the region. The winery has evolved into a pioneering hub for wine tourism, offering tours, wine tastings, breakfasts, interactive cooking workshops, ham slicing courses, and even active wine harvesting experiences.
