Located in the north east of Spain on the border with France’s Roussillon region, Empordà is known for producing red wines from Garnacha, or Garnaxta as it is spelt in Catalan. Two sub zones influence style, Alta Empordà Ont eh slopes of the Alberes Rodes and the Baix Empordà to the south, on the slopes of the Montgri and Gabarres massifs. Its proximity and shared culture to Roussillon also provides a long heritage of fortified wines, although these are harder to find.
