white grape

Parellada

Cooler uplands of Penedès; late-ripening, delicate aromatics.

Known as: Parellada, Montonec

Parellada is the third classic grape of Cava, adding fine, floral freshness and a delicate texture to the blend.

Grown at higher, cooler altitude than its partners, it ripens slowly and keeps a lovely subtle apple-blossom character.

For the buyer, Parellada is the gentle elegance inside every well-made Cava.
