Winegrowing: Mosaic vineyard of 32 plots that express the
heterogeneity and singularity of the dierent subzones of the
Penedès through the three great varieties of the zone.
- Macabeu comprises 14 plots that make up 16.5 ha among
the subzones of Costers de l’Ordal and Massís del Garraf, at
320 to 420 metres altitude on calcareous, gravel and
limestone soils.
- Xarel·lo comprises 6 plots that make up 10.2 ha among the
subzones of Conca de l’Anoia and Conca del Foix, at 220 to
340 metres altitude on clayey, calcareous and pebbly soils.
- Parellada from 4 plots that make up 6.4 ha on the Serra
d’Ancosa within the La Llacuna district, at 580 to 670
metres altitude on sandstone soils.
Tasting note: At first sight it has a clean and bright
appearance, of a pale yellow colour with new gold reflections.
A fine and persistent bubble that evolves through an
abundant formation of beads and crown. The first impression
on the nose is clean, frank and elegant. The second
impression is dominated by the fruity aromas dominated
by russet apple, pear and fennel on a cake and brioche
background.
In the mouth it is very fruity and refined and elegant, with
bubble creamy and very well integrated. The fresh white fruit
stands out over a background of fine lees and cake.
As a whole it is fresh, elegant and persistent
