Casa Beal Winery

Casa Beal Winery, located in the parish of Sant Julià de Lòria, is a trailblazer in Andorran agriculture, responsible for reviving the country's winemaking tradition after a century-long hiatus. The estate's vineyards are perched on steep, hand-built stone terraces at altitudes between 1050 and 1100 meters, making it one of the highest commercial wineries in Europe. The primary grape variety grown here is Gewürztraminer, which thrives in the crisp mountain air and limestone-rich soil to produce wines with distinct floral notes and a sharp mineral backbone. Their signature wine, 'Cim de Cel' (Heaven's Peak), has gained international acclaim for its quality and exclusivity. Guided tours of the winery offer deep insights into the challenges of high-altitude viticulture and the meticulous care required for every vine. Casa Beal stands as a testament to the Beal family's vision and their successful endeavor to put Andorra back on the global wine map with sophisticated, cool-climate white wines that reflect the unique spirit of the Pyrenees.
