Terra Remota is a single estate covering 54 hectares, embedded in the spurs of the Albera Massif. This is a territory with a granitic soil, known as albero, which offers very interesting possibilities for viticulture, as the soil is not fertile and furthermore it facilitates good drainage. Granite is a light-coloured and therefore quite cold stone which guarantees balanced pH and acidity.
In 2003 and 2004, a total of 23 hectares were planted, following major work on the land’s subsoil, while respecting forested areas that foster the local flora (olive, oak and pine trees, lavender, thyme, etc.) and fauna, in order to maintain the environmental balance. The vineyard comprises 15 parcels, planted with low-yield clones for each variety. The philosophy has been to maintain part of the production using the typical varieties of the area. A total of 6 hectares of Garnacha Tinta and 1.5 hectares of Garnacha Blanca, along with varieties that have a long tradition in France, and have proven to adapt well in this DO, such as 6 hectares of Syrah, 6 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon and 1 hectare of Chardonnay. In an experimental phase, a hectare of Tempranillo was also planted as was a parcel of 0.8 hectare of Chenin Blanc.
In 2017, an additional 3 hectares were planted: 1 ha of white Garnacha, 1 ha. of Chenin and, as a novelty, 1 ha of Xarel·lo.
