Perelada, one of Empordà's flagship estates, has increasingly focused on site‑expressive, small‑parcel wines that highlight the region's varied geology. Garrigal Vinyes Velles comes from old vines rooted in slate-dominated soils that naturally limit vigour and produce concentrated fruit.

Perelada's work over the past decade has centred on precision farming, including selecting micro‑plots and using canopy management to moderate Empordà's warm, tramuntana‑influenced climate. The 2023 vintage is crafted with gentle extraction to preserve aromatic purity and avoid over‑structuring the old-vine fruit. Fermentation takes place in temperature‑controlled stainless steel, followed by ageing in a combination of concrete and French oak to balance freshness with subtle textural development.
The resulting wine offers a refined expression of Empordà's Mediterranean landscape – dark berry fruit, herbal lift, and a distinctive mineral edge rooted in its slate soils – while retaining the elegance and balance that characterise Perelada's new-generation premium releases.
