Winemaker Notes
Straw-colored with green sparkles. Intense aroma with hints of tropical fruits (pineapple, citrus fruits). On the palate it is fresh, fruity and full-bodied with very well-balanced acidity. The bubbles from its own fermentation can be seen.
There are hundreds of white grape varieties grown throughout the world. Some are indigenous specialties capable of producing excellent single varietal wines. Each has its own distinct viticultural characteristics, as well as aroma and flavor profiles.
A superior source of white grapes for the production of Spain’s prized sparkling wine, Cava, the Penedes region is part of Catalunya and sits just south of Barcelona. Medio Penedès is the most productive source of the Cava grapes, Macabeo, Xarel-lo, and Parellada. Penedes also grows Garnacha and Tempranillo (here called Ull de Llebre in Catalan), for high quality reds and rosès.
