Producers and Wine Reviews about the "D.O. Alella" Show in wein.plus:places

DO area on the Mediterranean coast in the north-east Spanish region of Catalonia, north of and close to Barcelona. It has a typical Mediterranean climate with mild winters and dry, hot summers. The vineyards cover 560 hectares of vines. Some of them are laid out in terraces. The soils on the slopes of the Sierra are dark-coloured and clayey, while those on the coast, known as "sauló", are light to whitish and stony.

The most important red wine varieties include Garnatxa Negra (Garnacha Tinta), Ull de Liebre (Tempranillo), Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, while the most important white wine varieties include Pansa Blanca (Xarello) and Xarello Rosado, Garnatxa Blanca (Garnacha Blanca), Picapoll Blanco, Malvasía (Planta Nova), Macabeo, Parellada, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc. The area is best known for its aromatic, fresh and structured white wines. Base wines for the sparkling wine Cava are also produced.
