Castles, cars and Carmelites: Sandwiched between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, Perelada is a flagship winery of Empordà, one of the oldest wine regions in Spain. The winery's story begins in 1923, when the Mateu family – specialists in the metal industry and founders of the automotive firm Hispano Suiza – purchased Perelada Castle. The ambition was to revive the wine-making traditions that dated back to the 14th century, when the Carmelite monks produced wine for the whole region, as documented in the parchment papers of the castle library.
