Verema in Catalan means "grape harvest". In the Northern Hemisphere, it takes place between July and October, depending on the grape variety and climate conditions. Here, most of it takes place in early September, but this year, as a result of climate change, some varieties of grape have had their harvest as early as July!
Wine making has a long history in Catalonia, it has been made for millennia. There are many parts of Catalonia where wine and cava (Catalan champagne) making is a huge part of the local industry. Nowadays, you can find Catalan wines from Priorat, Penedès, Pla de Bages, Costers del Segre and other denomination of origins all around the world.
This video was posted last year on the Instagram page of the Pla de Bages denomination of origin (dopladebages).
Si le vin disparaissait de la production humaine, il se ferait dans la santé et dans l’intelligence un vide, une absence plus affreuse que tous les excès dont on le rend coupable.

Back to the vineyard this weekend for les vendanges (grape harvest). Hands calloused and muscle aches all over my body that I didn’t know was possible. But what a great time to pull together and get one’s hand mucky in nature.
The 2022 vintage bears the stamp of a series of heat waves illustrating the reality of climate change. It’s a reality all farmer and wine-makers have to accept and increasingly adapt to.
In mid-June, early July and early August, there was a series of heat waves, whose effects were partly mitigated by welcome rainfall at the end of June – though unfortunately with some hail – and in mid-August.
The early onset of the heat and water stress from mid-June allowed the fruit to prepare itself for the hot weather that ensued – the skins thickened, mitigating the sunburn and wilting that were expected in July and August. Soaring to extreme temperatures – including the current harvest period, which is very hot by day and by night – the vintage is nonetheless reassuring.
