What is an aged red wine?

An aged red wine is a wine that undergoes a period of evolution before being released onto the market. During this time, the wine develops its aromatic and flavour characteristics and may gain greater complexity, structure and harmony.

Ageing is part of the winemaking process and helps define the wine’s final style. Its evolution depends on several factors, including:

Grape varieties: each variety contributes its own characteristics in terms of colour, aroma, structure and acidity.
The region: the climate, soil and vineyard conditions influence the character of the grapes.
The winemaking process: the winery’s decisions during vinification shape the wine’s profile.
Ageing time: the wine’s evolution helps develop its complexity and balance.
Storage: storage conditions influence how the wine evolves over time.

Ageing is not simply a matter of letting time pass. It is a stage in which the wine evolves and develops its profile. Therefore, when we choose an aged wine from the Empordà, we are also discovering a particular approach to winemaking and the character of the region.

At Celler Mas Pòlit, this philosophy is connected with vineyard work, family tradition and the desire to produce wines that express their origin.

Mas Pòlit: an aged red wine with its own personality

Mas Pòlit is one of the wines that represents the essence of the winery. Its identity is linked to the Empordà region and to an approach to viticulture that combines tradition, respect for the vines and attention to the winemaking process.

When we talk about a wine’s personality, we mean the combination of characteristics that make it recognisable. In an aged red wine, these characteristics can be expressed through its structure, aromatic intensity, balance and how it evolves in the glass.

Mas Pòlit is designed for people who want to discover a characterful red wine from the Empordà, enjoy a bottle on a special occasion or accompany a gastronomic experience with a wine that forms part of the occasion.

Its connection with Celler Mas Pòlit also offers an opportunity to discover an approach to winemaking that values origin, landscape and the family’s work at the winery.

The Empordà: the region that gives wines their character

The Empordà is a wine-producing region of Catalonia with a strong identity. Its location between the Mediterranean and the mountains, the diversity of its landscapes and the influence of the Tramuntana wind contribute to creating distinctive conditions for growing vines.

DO Empordà wines express this diversity of landscape. The combination of a Mediterranean climate, different soil types and grape varieties makes it possible to produce wines with varied profiles, from fresh and approachable styles to structured red wines with ageing potential.

At Celler Mas Pòlit, the mountain vineyards located between the Serra de Rodes and the Albera are part of the project’s identity.

This environment contributes important elements to understanding the character of the wines:

The Tramuntana: the characteristic wind of the Empordà forms part of the vineyards’ climatic conditions.
Slate and llicorella soils: these are distinctive features of the area’s wine-growing landscape.
Mountain vineyards: the slopes and terrain require specific vineyard work.
The Mediterranean climate: the combination of temperatures, sunshine and maritime influence contributes to grape development.

Understanding these factors helps explain why wines from the Empordà have their own identity and why the region is an essential part of their story.

Mountain vineyard wines: concentration, terroir and personality

Mountain vineyards in the Empordà offer a distinctive approach to winegrowing. Sloping terrain, landscape conditions and the need for careful work mean that viticulture in these areas requires dedication and expertise.

Mountain viticulture is associated with an approach that focuses on the region and the characteristics of each vineyard plot. Soil conditions, climate and grape variety influence the profile of the grapes and, subsequently, the wine.

In this context, terroir-driven wines from the Empordà can express a combination of concentration, structure and character that distinguishes them from other wines.

Celler Mas Pòlit’s vineyards are located in a mountain setting between the Serra de Rodes and the Albera. This landscape, together with the influence of the Tramuntana wind and the slate and llicorella soils, forms part of the winery’s identity.

The relationship between vineyard and region is particularly important when talking about aged red wines. Grapes are the starting point of wine, and the conditions in which they are grown contribute to defining its character.

Discovering a mountain vineyard wine from the DO Empordà is therefore also a way to learn about the landscape and viticulture of the region.

Celler Mas Pòlit’s organic viticulture

Organic viticulture is an important part of Celler Mas Pòlit’s philosophy. Vineyard work is approached with respect for the environment and a commitment to reducing the impact of wine production.

At Celler Mas Pòlit, this approach is integrated into a family project that values the region and its conservation.
