Wine Tasting

  The Penedès wine region is
   one of the most famous in
   Spain and is on our
   doorstep. Until the 19th 
   century Penedès was 
   fundamentally a red wine 
   area and it was only at this 
   time that big firms around 
   Sant Sadurni such as 
   Codorniu and Freixenet 
   started using French 
   methods for making 
   champagne. 

   Now, of around 26,000 cultivated hectars in the region, 80% 
   are made up of the three classic types of Cava: Macabeo,    
   Parellada and Xarello.

   Of the other 20%, made up of red and white wines, perhaps the 
   most famous names of the area are Miguel A. Torres and Jean 
   León. But the area is known also for its individual style and 
   wines made up from small firms such as Can Ràfols dels Caus, 
   Can Feixes and Albet i Noya. Also some of the wines from the 
   Garraf are worth trying. 

   One way of touring the Penedes area is to divide the tours into 
   three following the 3 different types of grapes used:

       Ruta Macabeu - mainly found in central Penedes around
        Sant Sadurni (35 minutes from the house), centre of Cava 
        and where there is a yearly cava festival in the middle of 
        October. The tour includes Codorníu, Freixenet and 
        Raventós i Blanc and a family run cava called Torelló 
        Llompart.

       Ruta Xarello - starts at the village of Lavern where you 
        can see bodegas such as Duart i Sió, Can Robira, Ventura    
        Llopart de la Costa.

       Ruta Parellada - Sat Martí Sarroca, Pontons, Torrelles de Foix 
        and all the other villages around Vilafranca (20 minutes from 
        the house) there are cavas to visit such as Finca Rovellats, 
        Can Nadall and Can Torres.

   If Sant Sadurni is the capital of cava in the region, Vilafranca is 
   the capital of wine with a good wine museum and the 
   impressive bodega of Miguel Torres.
