Important red wine varieties are Garnatxa Negra (Garnacha Tinta), Ull de Liebre (Tempranillo), Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Important white wine varieties are Pansa Blanca (Xarello) and Xarello Rosado, Garnatxa Blanca (Garnacha Bl anca), Picapoll Blanco, Malvasía (Planta Nova?), Macabeo, Parellada, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Bl anc and Chenin Blanc.
