Penedès

Penedès is the Catalan region where Xarello delivers some of Spain's most characterful whites and where Clàssic Penedès sparkling wine — made exclusively from organically grown grapes — sits alongside varieties introduced by Miguel Torres Jr, including Chardonnay, Riesling, and Cabernet Sauvignon. With Familia Torres now farming most vineyards organically, there's a clear quality direction here that makes the range worth exploring.

Why choose Penedès wine?

Penedès gives you more styles in one region than anywhere else in Spain — aromatic whites, clean fruity reds, and serious sparkling — mostly at inexpensive to mid-priced levels, with premium options if you want them. As Spain's most extensive Catalan wine zone, consistent availability across styles and budgets makes it a reliable source for everyday drinking. At the top end, the Vi de Mas and Gran Vi de Mas classifications — reserved for single parcels from vines at least 25 years old with a track record of international recognition — demonstrate that Penedès can compete with prestige regions, not just undercut them. Pour an aromatic Xarello or a fruity Merlot alongside grilled fish or a simple chicken dish and you'll see why this region works so well as an everyday-to-occasion range.

How is Clàssic Penedès sparkling wine made?

Clàssic Penedès is made using the traditional method — the same as Champagne — and aged for at least 15 months before release, giving it a finer, more complex bubble than most entry-level sparkling wines.

Is Penedès wine good value compared to other Spanish regions?

Yes. Most Penedès wines sit at inexpensive to mid-market prices, yet the Vi de Mas tier offers genuine prestige. You get range and value that neighbouring Catalan regions rarely match across the board.
