A little guide to help you discover which Catalan wine suits you best — from an organic white from Empordà to a red from Priorat — according to your personality: relaxed, joyful, passionate, or elegant.
There are wines you drink, and others you live.
Some are joyful and sparkling; others, deep and full of stories. Like people, every wine has its own character — and discovering which one fits you can be almost an exercise in self-discovery.
If you’re in Barcelona and feel like exploring local flavors, join us on this journey through some of Catalonia’s most representative wines. A guide to finding your soulmate in a glass — whether it’s bubbly, intense, or with a salty hint of the Mediterranean.
If you’re relaxed and love nature
Organic white from Empordà
You enjoy calm, simple things, and wide-open landscapes. You like to wander aimlessly, breathe in the scent of rosemary, and listen to the sea at sunset. You’re someone who knows that true luxury lies in nature.
Your perfect wine is an organic white from Empordà, made from grapes like Garnacha Blanca or Macabeo. Fresh, aromatic, and slightly saline, it reflects the spirit of a land that looks out to the sea. With notes of white fruit, flowers, and Mediterranean herbs, it’s an invitation to unwind and let go. A wine that doesn’t need noise to stand out — just like you.
If you’re cheerful and social
Sparkling wine from Penedès
You love to celebrate anything, no matter how small. You raise a glass to Fridays, to the sunshine, to those spontaneous dinners that end in laughter. You’re the kind of person who spreads good energy and turns any get-together into something special.
Your ideal wine is a sparkling Penedès — whether a Corpinnat or Clàssic Penedès: fresh, vibrant, and full of bubbles that seem to dance in the glass. Born in one of Catalonia’s most iconic wine regions, these sparkling wines stand out for their Mediterranean elegance, with aromas of white fruit and citrus notes. They taste like summer, sunny terraces, and conversations that stretch on without looking at the clock.
If you’re passionate and creative
Red from Priorat
You’re intense. You’re driven by curiosity, emotion, and the beauty of the unusual. You’re inspired by rugged landscapes, stories that leave a mark, and people who speak with passion.
Your ideal wine is a red from Priorat — a denomination known for its power and authenticity. Made from Garnacha and Cariñena, this wine is born among slate hillsides bathed in sunlight. It has body, depth, and a mineral edge that makes it unmistakable. It’s a wine to savor slowly, like a meaningful conversation or an idea that takes time to unfold. If you seek intensity in every detail, you’ll find yourself reflected here.
If you’re classic and elegant
White from Penedès
You have style — effortless and understated. You value discretion, quality, and things done right. You’re drawn to the timeless: a beautifully set table, a quiet afternoon, a conversation that flows naturally.
Your wine is a white from Penedès — smooth, bright, and balanced. Aromatic without being overpowering, fresh without being loud. Made from varieties like Xarel·lo or Chardonnay, it offers a natural elegance that makes it perfect for pairing with seafood, rice dishes, or simply for enjoying slowly. It’s the kind of wine that doesn’t seek to impress, yet leaves a lasting impression.
