Castell del Remei
In the 1980s the Cusine' family took over this wine property and started an
ambitious program of replanting. They planted, among other grape varieties,
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and other !"international" varities but
also kept the traditional grapes such as Macabeo, Xarel-Lo, Parellada and
Ull de Liebre (Tempranillo). The castle-like main building is surrounded
by land with a very good micro climate where e.g. Cabernet Sauvignon makes
very good wine. |
