Gallina de Piel

Empordà whites and reds from Spain's northeastern frontier.

Gallina de Piel operates in Empordà, the northernmost wine region of Catalunya, where Mediterranean influence and cool breezes shape distinctive white and red wines. The winery's portfolio reflects the region's diverse terroir through carefully composed blends. Manar dos Seixaş, a white blend of Treixadura, Loureiro, Albarin Blanco, and Godello, demonstrates the potential of Atlantic-influenced varieties in this corner of Spain. Mimetic pairs Garnacha with Monastrell, two grapes central to eastern Spanish viticulture, in a red that balances the region's warmth with structure. Ikigall, a white of Moscatel and Xarel-lo, captures the aromatic character of indigenous varieties. These wines have drawn assessment from Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Wine Advocate, establishing a presence among prestige critics.
