Winemaker Notes
The ancestors of the Giró Ribot family, a noble lineage, are closely tied to the Penedès region by bonds which go back over several generations of wine, Cava and spirit producers. The symphonic nature of this union has been key to the development of Paul Cheneau.
Giró Ribot is situated at the heart of the Appellation d’Origine Penedès. This beautiful area of Catalonia, halfway between the cities of Barcelona and Tarragona, is bordered to the south by the Mediterranean Sea and to the north by the spectacular and remarkable solid mass of Montserrat. Around 64,247 acres of natural paradise, witness to a long and noble historical tradition and a place where climatic and topographical conditions come together to form an ideal environment for cultivating and producing wines of the highest quality. While the solid mountain mass of Montserrat protects it from cold north winds, the proximity of the sea ensures mild temperatures. In addition, this Appellation d’Origine enjoys a typically Mediterranean climate. The winters are mild, the summers only moderately hot and there is not too much rain. The winery owns 247 acres of vineyards of the indigenous Macabeo, Xarello and Parellada grapes, with which Cavas are produced. The harvest is still hand picked, and second fermentation takes place in the bottle following the Traditional Method
