The production of wine at the Castillo de Perelada has been documented since the Middle Ages. When Miguel Mateu purchased this monumental complex in 1923, one of his main objectives was to revitalize this winemaking tradition, a tradition that is now more alive than ever and has incorporated the most modern technology to produce wines that fully capture the nuances of the soils and vineyards of the Empordà.
It was in the town of Peralada where Miguel Mateu Pla discovered and became passionate about the world of wine, and where he decided to establish the Castillo Perelada winery, reviving a centuries-old tradition that dates back to the 14th century. In the early 1990s, Castillo Perelada decided to focus on producing high-quality wines, what some refer to as high-expression wines. This new approach has materialized through a series of investments in research and development.
This small area of land concentrates a variety of soils found in very few places: slate slopes, sandy plains, fluvial sediment, soils rich in silt and clay, gravel soils... This heterogeneity of terrains allows Castillo de Perelada to harvest grapes with an extensive range of nuances in each vintage, enabling the production of complex wines full of character. It comprises five different estates with a total of 150 hectares.
In 2022, Celler Perelada inaugurated the new winery, conceived by the Suqué Mateu family together with RCR Arquitectes, a Spanish studio that received the Pritzker Prize in 2017, considered the Nobel of Architecture.
