<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]The land of the Grenache<\/h2>The DO Terra Alta is the star denomination of origin of the Terres de l'Ebre <\/h3><\/p>
\nThe most westerly wine-growing area in Catalonia<\/strong> is located between the River Ebro and the lands of Matarranya county, where vineyards have been planted and wine has been made as far back as the Templar Knights<\/strong> in the 12th and 13th Centuries.<\/p>
\nThe Terra Alta region is ideal for growing a healthy, mature vine with character, using an approach to viticulture that respects the environment and producing a grape with its own identity. In the county there are around 1,250 wine-growers with vineyards covering around 5,800 hectares, with varieties including grenache, macabeu, parellada<\/strong> and cinsaut<\/strong>. Grenache is the most characteristic variety of DO Terra Alta, whether it be white, red or \u2018hairy\u2019. The county produces 33% of the world\u2019s total grenache production.<\/strong><\/p>

The most westerly wine-growing area in Catalonia<\/strong> is located between the River Ebro and the lands of Matarranya county, where vineyards have been planted and wine has been made as far back as the Templar Knights<\/strong> in the 12th and 13th Centuries.<\/p> The Terra Alta region is ideal for growing a healthy, mature vine with character, using an approach to viticulture that respects the environment and producing a grape with its own identity. In the county there are around 1,250 wine-growers with vineyards covering around 5,800 hectares, with varieties including grenache, macabeu, parellada<\/strong> and cinsaut<\/strong>. Grenache is the most characteristic variety of DO Terra Alta, whether it be white, red or \u2018hairy\u2019. The county produces 33% of the world\u2019s total grenache production.<\/strong><\/p> <\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column] The wine-growing tradition in the Terra Alta region goes back to time immemorial<\/strong>. The lives of the region\u2019s people are influenced by the cycles of the vineyards and, during harvest-time, the towns\u2019 street smell of grape must.
