Mountain vineyard wines from Empordà: discover their character, personality and origin

At Celler Mas Pòlit, we have been working for generations with vineyards located between the Serra de Rodes and the Albera, in a privileged environment that gives rise to organic DO Empordà wines with a strong expression of their territory.

What is a mountain vineyard wine?
A mountain vineyard wine is produced from vineyards located in areas with slopes, uneven terrain and conditions that can often make vineyard work more demanding. These conditions require a more traditional and hands-on approach to viticulture, while also helping to produce grapes with great concentration and personality.
Mountain vineyards often have:
- Lower yields.
- More concentrated grapes.
- Greater expression of the terroir.
- Greater aromatic complexity.
- A balanced combination of acidity and freshness.
In the Empordà, these vineyards also benefit from the influence of the Tramuntana wind and the mineral-rich slate and llicorella soils.
The Serra de Rodes, the Albera and the Tramuntana: a unique landscape
The vineyards of Celler Mas Pòlit are located in a privileged setting between the Serra de Rodes and the Albera, a territory where the Mediterranean, the mountains and the wind combine to create particularly distinctive conditions.
The Tramuntana wind is one of the key elements that defines wines from the Empordà. This wind helps keep the vineyards healthy, reduces humidity and contributes to producing grapes with a high level of aromatic concentration.
At the same time, slate and llicorella soils contribute minerality, structure and depth to the wines.
The combination of all these factors produces terroir-driven wines from the Empordà that express the landscape where they are born in a direct and distinctive way.
