Terroir
The wines come from Veguer Torre del Garraf Massif, a different and original to all others that can be found in Catalunya terroir. This is a great mass of limestone formed in the Tertiary, located in the southern part of the Sierra Litoral, located between the Mediterranean Sea and the plain of the Penedès.
Veguer tower is located at the eastern end of the massif of Garraf in an idyllic location: at the foot of the top of Montgròs and overlooking the Mediterranean Sea which is just 4km.
Floor
The Garraf Massif is characterized by shallow calcareous soils. Marine fossils that we find sometimes in our vineyards remind us that about 20 million years ago this whole area was part of the Mediterranean Sea. This feature is the main sensory characteristic of our wines: salt and iodized notes, minerality, marine memories that evoke what we went sea.
The composition of the lands of Torre del Veguer is extremely chalky or limestone and texture varies depending on the proximity to Montgròs, where it is clay loam, or the Mediterranean, whose texture is sandy loam. Another feature of our grief is the low organic matter content of our farm and is oriented south, towards the Mediterranean Sea.
Weather
Massis del Garraf has a very particular mesoclima. The days of much heat stroke are hot, thanks to the thermoregulatory effect of the sea, allows the temperature is milder compared to places farther from the sea. The Mare Nostrum offers its sea breeze helps cool and temper our vineyards decreasing the maximum daytime temperature.
Regarding the microclimate of Torre del Veguer enjoy a dry Mediterranean climate, with an average annual rainfall of 550mm and as the temperatures, the maximum annual is around 36 ° C and with a low around -2 ° C. Thermal oscillations in the final period of maturation are about 20 ° C allowing us a slow increase in the concentration of sugars and polyphenol maturation, optimal conditions for producing wines of great quality.
