Penedès

DO Penedès

Land and climate
The land of the DO Penedès is wide and open and extends along a large strip of territory between sea and mountains, halfway between Barcelona and Tarragona. Within this natural setting, our wines come from the best selected vineyards in the area.
Zones
In the middle of the Catalan pre-coastal depression, between the pre-coastal mountain range and the small plains of the Mediterranean coast, the vineyards of our wine region mature.
Microclimates
The Penedès Designation of Origin has a great diversity of microclimates, as a consequence of the proximity of the coast and the altitude. The climate is typically Mediterranean, it is mild and warm. The Penedès Marítim area is more temperate due to the influence and proximity of the sea. The Penedès Superior enjoys more frequent rainfall and more contrast between maximum and minimum temperatures. The Central Penedès is the compendium of both microclimates.
Singularity
The uniqueness of its wines results from its uniqueness. A thousand flavors, aromas, bodies and structures … are the result of climatic and landscape differences and the richness and variety of the soils that make it up, tinged with the green of the mountains and plains or the blue of the Mediterranean waters.
White varieties
The DO Penedès, widely recognized for its quality in white wines, combines a range of wines made with traditional varieties (xarel·lo, macabeu and parellada) with others that over the years have been introduced and successfully acclimatized (chardonnay , riesling, sauvignon blanc …). And with xarel·lo wines as the DO’s standard, Penedès wines are full of aroma, flavor and quality. A pleasure for the senses.
Red varieties
The red varieties we find are:

Red Grenache, Monastrell, Pinot Noir, Carignan, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo.
