Winemaker Notes
Made from the Hondarrubi Zuri (white varietal) and Hondarrubi Beltza (red varietal) grapes, this could be the most pure, beautiful, and all around perfect aperitif available. Naturaly low in alcohol and accented by a bracing acidity, this wine could stoke the most stifled appetite, and is incredibly versatile with food pairings, especially seafood and cured meats.
Blend: 95% Hondarrabi Zuri, 5% Hondarrabi Beltza
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.
