Staff Pick Notes

Haven't been able to branch out from French sparklers, yet? I've found your new match! “Classic Penedès” is a designation for sparkling wine from the Penedès region in Spain. Highlighting its distinct territory and production quality, “Classic Penedès” is always 100% organic, entirely made from ancestral native varieties, single vintage, and spends 15 months in the cellar. I was so excited to try this bottle as my introduction into the designation! The Albet i Noya "Classic" Petit Albet is a blend of Chardonnay, Macabeu, Paralledo, and Xarel-lo. Totally dry and mineral forward, I found notes of apple pastry, lemon peel, and bright citrus. Can’t wait to crush this bottle with just about anything. Fresh berries, greasy take-out, impressing your date, you name it.

More About This Wine

Spain

Central to the Spanish winemaking philosophy is the belief that wine should be released only when it is ready to be consumed, and not a moment before. Spanish wine law focuses squarely on this issue: the terms Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva are highly regulated indicators of the amount of time a wine has aged prior to its release. In Rioja, Navarra, and the Ribera del Duero (which have the most stringent requirements) red Crianzas must be aged a minimum of two years; Reservas, at least three...

Cava

Dry, delicious Cava is an excellent Champagne alternative. The best examples are aged on the lees (the spent yeast cells used in fermentation) and show complexity to rival that of the best Champagnes.

Xarel-lo

Growing primarily in the northeastern region of Catalonia, Xarel-lo is most famous for its role in the production of the Spanish sparkling wine known as Cava (along with Macabeo and Parellada). Xarel-lo is occasionally bottled on its own as a deliciously crisp still wine, frequently filled with notes of stone fruits and herbs.

Parellada

Along with Macabeo and Xarel-lo, this is one of the three grapes that make up the traditional Cava blend. Occasionally blended with better-known varieties (e.g. Sauvignon Blanc) in delightful still whites, Parellada yields light and firmly acidic wines with pleasing floral aromas.
