Abadal, a wealth of tradition
Our vines, our vineyards and our bodegas are a living testimony to a long and passionate love affair with wine. Areas where vines and woodland cohabit are few and far between, but El Bages, and in particular the land cultivated by our bodega, is one of those areas where vineyards are interspersed with groves of trees, in a microclimate of contrasts that give the grapes their intensity and the wines their quality.
The uneven soil and scarce rainfall result in magnificent red wines and singular white wines. We carefully select the best varieties of grape, lovingly tend to them over the years, and employ the very latest in viticulture methods.
We combine native varieties, like the fruity Picapoll, with prestigious varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Franc for the reds, and Chardonnay, Sauvignon White and Macabeo for the whites.
El Bages, a wine region with a long history
El Bages has been a land of wines since time immemorial. In recognition of a land that was particularly suitable to the cultivation of the vine, early settlers baptised the area El Bages, in homage to Bacchus, the Roman god of wine
From the time of these early settlers and the Greeks and Romans who followed, a long tradition of working the vines continued through the centuries until 1890, when they were completely wiped out by the phylloxera plague.
This age-old winemaking tradition has now been recovered by the new masters of the land, and the Pla de Bages is once again generously populated with vineyards that stretch across a gently undulating, sunlit landscape.
