PERELADA
Castillo Perelada are located neatly enough in the village of Peralada, producing wine from the D.O. of Empordà and the D.O. of Penedès. The Castle of Peralada, in the village of Peralada, was bought by Miguel Mateu in 1923. Miguel set out to revitalize its winemaking tradition, a tradition that originated in the XIVth century when the Carmelite monks, who lived in the monastery annexed to the castle, produced an excellent wine.
This is how Castillo Perelada was born, in the heart of the Empordà region, which is located in the north-eastern corner of Spain, on a land of privileged geo-climatic conditions, thanks to the proximity of the Mediterranean Sea and the extraordinary diversity of its soil.
Today, Javier Suqué Mateu, grandson of the founder, keeps alive a spirit that brings together tradition and modernity - including a Casino; not quite what you'd expect to find in the castle.
