Penedes
Nestled between Barcelona and the Mediterranean, Penedès is Catalonia's most celebrated wine region, famous as the birthplace of Cava but equally impressive for its still wines. This diverse terroir stretches from coastal vineyards to high-altitude sites, with chalky limestone soils and maritime influence creating wines of distinctive minerality and elegant freshness. From innovative producers like Pardas, who champion natural winemaking and native varieties like Xarel·lo, to authentic family estates like Maria Casanovas crafting traditional Catalan expressions, Penedès represents the perfect marriage of heritage and innovation, continuing to surprise wine lovers with exceptional quality across both sparkling and still wine production.
