The Castell del Remei Estate has a surface area of 400
ha in a single block, of which 70 are planted with different native
and international grape varieties:
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Garnacha, Syrah, Chardonnay,
Sauvignon Blanc, Macabeo and Pinot Noir.
The grapevines average 20 years in age and
are espalier trained on iron posts and galvanised steel cable, using a double
Royat cordon pruning system with a density ranging from 2,000 to 3,800 plants
per ha. The clones and rootstock have been selected for optimal adaptation
to the soil and grape variety while maintaining significant diversity.
Current
yields are based on the theory that plants should
be provided with the minimum essentials, to achieve the highest quality, while sacrificing quantity. Average
yields stand at about 6,000 kg/ha.
The vineyards ensure a consistent supply
of a high percentage of the grapes, thereby guaranteeing a stable
vinification volume.
