The climate is Mediterranean with moderately hot summers, cold winters without frosts or hailstorms, rainfall concentrated in autumn and spring, and very sunny with mountain ranges oriented to the southeast. In Catalonia, the production of sparkling wines and cavas predominates, as well as quality white and red wines. Approximately 30% of the vineyards are organic.
