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.
