Emporda
Location: Spain
Legal name: DO Emporda
Emporda is a Spanish protected wine appellation in Catalonia, useful for drinkers who want to move beyond the best-known Spanish regions. Its practical label identity is northeastern Catalan DO for tramuntana-shaped reds, whites, rosados, and sweet Garnatxa wines. Typical wines are Mediterranean reds with herbs, red fruit, and savory spice; whites and sweet wines add range. The vineyard context is Costa Brava and inland hills shaped by tramuntana wind, schist, granite, and alluvial soils.

Notable Rules
Spanish/Catalan DO / DOP. Garnatxa and Carinyena are the central red varieties, with sweet fortified-style wines also part of the identity.
