Data of interest
Castell del Remei is a benchmark winery in the Denomination of Origin Costers del Segre. It belongs to the winemaker and viticulturist Tomàs Cusiné Barber, who is also the owner of the wineries of the same name and Cérvoles Celler.
The origins of the winery date back to the year 1780, when the father of Don Ignasi Girona Vilanova cultivated the estate influenced by French viticulture. It is the oldest winery in Catalonia for producing fine aged wines, as well as the first Catalan winery built following the Bordeaux-style château model surrounded by vineyards.
The estate has a Mediterranean-continental climate, characterized by a wide thermal variation between its very cold winters and very hot summers, with low rainfall and average humidity.
The winery has approximately 100 hectares of vineyards at an altitude between 700 and 800 meters, on clay-loam soils with abundant gravel, which allows for good drainage. Additionally, it works with native grape varieties such as garnacha, tempranillo, cariñena, trepat, malvasía, and macabeo; to which are added French-origin vines introduced to the estate in the 19th century, with varieties such as cabernet sauvignon, syrah, chardonnay, and sauvignon blanc.
With Castell del Remei, they have sought to achieve the maximum expression of the terroir and mountain vineyards, with an average vine age exceeding 25 years, practicing ecological and sustainable vineyard management. In the aging areas, the winery has 1000 barrels of French and American oak.
