Empordàlia is an association of growers in Empordà, a small DO in north-eastern Catalunya, just south of the French border. The area is bounded to the north by the Verdera mountains, to the east by the Bay of Roses and the Mediterranean, to the west by the cliffs of Garrotxa, and to the south by the plain stretching to the Empordà marshes. Strongly rooted in their local environment, Empordà have chosen to represent the mountains in their wines, labelling them Verdera and calling them ‘the wine of the wind’ after the strong, cold Tramontana wind that blows down off the Pyrenées. Working with traditional Catalan varieties garnatxa blanca, macabeo, garnatxa and carinena, Empordàlia create bright, fresh, Mediterranean-influenced wines.
