Castell Encus
The Pyrenees region is a true challenge for wine makers: clima is extreme and soils are poor. But when the wine maker is a perfectionist, as Raül Bobet is, results are amazing.
The altitude brings the opportunity to create fresher wines without giving up good maturation: Cold temperatures in winter, and a sharp contrast between day and night throughout the year, together with a huge variety of soils, are some of the secrets that make it possible to obtain high quality wines with great potential for ageing
