Climate
The Castell del Remei Estate is located in the district of La Noguera, at an altitude of about 250 m above sea level.

The soil is mainly calcareous (chalky). However, there is a marked diversity of soils in the estate that contributes to the enormous wealth of nuances typical of Castell del Remei wines.

All the plots are located on what was the bottom of an inner sea that covered a large part of the Central Depression during the Cenozoic Era.

To the south, one finds detritic rocks, typical of Catalonia. In this arid climate, the force of the elements frequently results in conditions of significant water stress, which is controlled via support irrigation in those years when this proves necessary.

In the north of the estate, there is a shallow water table that creates stress for want of oxygen in the vines, preventing excessive vigour in rainy years and helping them overcome the harsh summers.
