Casa Auvinyà is a winery in Sant Julià de Lòria, in the south of the Principality of Andorra. In fact it is in the village of Auvinyà at an altitude of 1.200 m and its vines are grown on the steep slopes looking east.
Work on viticulture began in March 2005, when the Ministry of Agriculture accepted the proposal by the winery to develop a Research Plan on the cultivation of vines and making wine in the Principality of Andorra.
The objects of the study were:
- To determine the grape varieties suited to the type of soil, mountain climate and special features of the area;
- To prepare white and red wines with a quality equivalent to that of other wines belonging to areas broadly recognised in wine production.
From the results obtained, Celler de Casa Auvinyà developed its project for the production of quality wines, respecting the demands of the terrain.
Today, this is becoming a reality. Casa Auvinyà has 5,000 vines planted, of red and white varieties, with a production of 3,000 bottles shared between the two red wines Evolució Pinot and Evolució Syrah and the snow white wine, Imagine.
