Mountain vineyard wine from the Serra de Rodes to the Albera
DO Empordà mountain vineyard wine: from Serra de Rodes to Albera
The mountain vineyard wine from the Serra de Rodes to the Albera represents one of the most authentic expressions of the Empordà region. In this landscape shaped by the Tramontane wind, slate soils and the proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, some of the most distinctive DO Empordà wines are born.
Celler Mas Pòlit, a family winery in Empordà with a long winemaking tradition, works these vineyards following the principles of organic and sustainable viticulture. The result is a range of wines that reflect the identity of the territory and have become references of organic wine from Empordà.
The concept of mountain vineyard wine is not only a geographical description. It represents a philosophy of winemaking: lower yields, slower ripening and aromatic concentration that results in intense and elegant wines.
The uniqueness of mountain vineyards in Empordà
The area between the Serra de Rodes and the Albera mountains is one of the most unique wine-growing landscapes in Catalonia. The vineyards grow on slopes and natural terraces, exposed to the Tramontane wind and strongly influenced by the Mediterranean climate.
These conditions make it possible to produce a sustainable DO Empordà mountain vineyard wine with unique characteristics. Altitude and natural ventilation favour healthier and more environmentally friendly viticulture.
The llicorella slate soils provide minerality and complexity. For this reason, wines from this territory belong to the category of Empordà slate terroir wines, appreciated for their depth and ageing potential.
Organic viticulture in mountain vineyards
Celler Mas Pòlit is committed to environmentally respectful agriculture. Production is based on practices that preserve soil balance and biodiversity.
This philosophy allows the winery to produce authentic organic Catalan wine, free from chemical pesticides and herbicides, faithfully reflecting the Empordà landscape.
The winery is also an organic DO Empordà winery powered by solar energy, a production model that reduces environmental impact and reinforces its commitment to sustainability.
This approach makes the winery’s wines references for sustainable Empordà wine and examples of a low environmental impact winery.
Crianza wines with mountain identity
Mountain vineyards produce concentrated and balanced grapes, ideal for crafting Empordà crianza red wines with concentration and personality.
Among the most representative wines is Mas Pòlit, a crianza wine that balances ripe fruit, spicy notes and elegance.
Another remarkable wine is Clot d’Illa, a deep and structured wine reflecting the minerality of slate soils.
A special reference is Mas Pòlit 450 – Historic Edition, created to celebrate 450 years of family tradition.
