From the “Varietals de Terrer” collection, the Vd’O 2 wine is the first wine of the D.O. Empordà and the 13th in Catalonia that Incavi awards the qualification “Vi de Finca Qualificada”.

It is the highest recognition that can be granted to a wine. This distinction implies unique, qualitative and climatic characteristics to the wines of grapes from the same plot in property, which follow the most demanding protocols by the D.O. in terms of production and efficiency.

This qualification recognizes both national and international prestige over 10 years.

The wine comes from old Carignan bush vines from the selected plot “Hort d’en Riera” planted in 1909 on sand soil locate at the village Capmany (Alt-Empordà), with an altitude over 90 m above the sea level and oriented to the north.
