Pla de Bages Wines. (367 words)
At one time, Bages was one of the most important wine-producing areas in the country and the quality of its vineyards was internacionally recognised.
However, the end of the 19th century brought with it philloxera, reducing the vineyards to a fifth of their original size and plunging the wine industry in Bages into a severe crisis.
The prevailing climate in Bages is Mediterranean in nature and typical of semi-mountainous areas.
