Wine in Andorra

Andorra is a small landlocked principality in the eastern Pyrenees, situated between France and Spain. Viticulture here is limited by steep terrain and high elevation, but wine production has historical roots and has seen renewed interest in recent decades.

Vineyards are located mainly on south-facing slopes between 900 and 1,200 metres above sea level, where altitude moderates summer heat and preserves acidity. Production is small-scale and focused on quality rather than volume.

Both indigenous and international grape varieties are grown. Traditional varieties such as Enantio (a local red) are cultivated alongside Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling. Wines are primarily dry reds and whites with fresh acidity and alpine character, reflecting the mountain climate.
