Northernmost Catalan appellation on the Costa Brava border with France, in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Garnacha and Cariñena dominate reds; Garnatxa Blanca and Muscat produce interesting whites. Famous for its naturally sweet Garnatxa d'Empordà fortified wine. The tramuntana wind, blowing from the Pyrenees, shapes vine physiology and contributes to freshness. Home of Dalí's surrealism; the region's wines have their own eccentric character.
