The Catalan News Agency recently published a report on Bages and how its wineries are committed to vines and varieties that resist climate change. Examples of these are the Picapoll variety and even more so the Mandó variety as “it produces an ample harvest during times of drought and it ripens well in spells of intense heat, as it resists water stress well.” The article highlights research work being carried out at the Abadal Winery on this variety and the importance of its recovery in the DO Pla de Bages, as it also represents the recovery of the region’s identity. According to the article “Autumn, mushrooms, forest, pineapple and foliage are some of the attributes that define this variety of wine”.
