Logo of the DO PENEDES

Climate

In general lines, the climate of the Penedés is typically Mediterranean, own of the coastal and pre-coastal Catalan, és to say softly and hotly. The zone of the Low Penedès is hotter thanks to the influence of the sea. The Penedès Superior is a typical zone of pre-coastal climate, where the frosts are more frequent and the contrast between the maximum and minimal temperatures is major. In some points, there can be reached 900 liters per annual square meter of rain. In the Vendrell (Under Penedès) the everage temperature is of 14,4ºC and in Vilafranca (Penedès Central) of 12ºC. A few temperatures completely favorable to the culture of the grapevine. The minimal temperatures are given in January, 2,63ºC, and the maxims in July, 27,78ºC.Las frosts can take place between November 1 and ends of April, though in some places hurts have taken place in the grapevine for late frosts, accompanied of cold winds. Because of his orographical configuration, the Penedès remains protected from the cold winds but the region is opened for the Mestral and for the winds of west, and in summer they predominate over the marinaded ones. The climate of the Penedès is luminous, the average of hours of sunstroke is of 2.548, favorably for the good ripeness of the grape. Also the rain turns out to be beneficial in the zone, since the average is of 514 l/m2. The station in which the maxim takes place pluviométrica is the autumn, followed in the spring. From autumn, and also in spring, a weak fog is frequent, this phenomenon and the thick fog that exists occasionally, as well as the hoar-frost and the rain favors the invasions of mildio or other parasites of the grapevine, which forces the vinicultor to use preventive treatments. Of all forms, it is necessary to mention that the summer hoar-frost is beneficial for the dampness of the grapevine.
