L'Albagès is a small municipality located in the region of Les Garrigues, in the province of Lérida, in Catalonia. This area has a long winemaking tradition and mainly grows native grape varieties such as Grenache, Carignan and Macabeo.
Grenache is a red grape that is widespread throughout the region of Catalonia and is characterised by its intense colour and fruity, spicy flavour. In L'Albagès, the red Grenache variety known as "garnatxa peluda" is mainly grown, which is characterised by a higher degree of acidity and a more complex flavour than other Grenache varieties.
Carignan is another red grape variety that is highly appreciated in the area, characterised by its dark colour and intense, spicy flavour. It is a grape that is very resistant to extreme climatic conditions, and it adapts perfectly to the poor and stony soils of the area.
Finally, Macabeo is a white grape variety that is mainly used to make white and sparkling wines. In L'Albagès, a local variety of macabeo known as "macabeu" is grown, which is characterised by its freshness and floral aroma.
In short, the area of L'Albagès has a wide variety of native grapes, which are used to make wines of excellent quality and flavour. If you are a wine lover, I recommend that you try the wines of the area, which will undoubtedly surprise you.
In the area of Les Garrigues, the Pons family creates, in a sustainable way, wines, oils and vinegars used by chefs from all over the world.
