Rasiguères
Rasiguères: schist vineyard and sustainable wine tourism in the Agly Valley
Rasiguères is a small commune in the Pyrénées-Orientales located in the Agly Valley, in Northern Catalonia. The village is known for its vineyard clinging to the slopes, on black schist soils that capture heat by day and release it at night, favouring optimal ripening and powerful, structured wines.
Many winemakers practice organic farming or are in conversion
Beyond wine, Rasiguères is known for its poetry festival, which brings together artists and word lovers in a unique dialogue between culture and nature. Wine tourism in Rasiguères offers guided walks through the vines, meetings with winemakers and tastings in a preserved and authentic setting.
