the name
|
EMPORION is the name of the oldest Greek colony, founded by the Phoenicians. In the current Ampuries remains have been found of the oldest wines in the Iberian Peninsula dating back to VI century BC and from where comes the name EMPORDÀ that indentifies the region and the 'Denominacion de Origen' (guarantee of origin).
The winged horse, Pegasus, identified EMPORION with the money (dracmas) that was minted in the colony during the Greek period and subsequently by the Romans.

production

The different varieties are fermented separately in stainless steel fermentation tanks cooled to a constant temperature of 24ºC. They are stirred twice daily and 30-40 days from the start of fermentation, the juice is separated from the grape residue, depending on the variety. The length of incubation is determined by tasting. The fermentation malolactic is carried out in the warehouse. It undergoes minimum treatments of clarification and filtration before being bottled.
