Penedes red wine

Penedes red wine In the past, but still a little, there were robust red wines from the Penedes wine area , but because the Cava from here was sold so well and attracted consumers, more and more white grape varieties are being planted, up to 2/3 of the acreage, the grape varieties used for the red wines are the Tempranillo , Garancha, Monastrel, and Carinena. Penedes is part of Catalunya and shares the same history. In the 1960s, a lot of Rancio red wine with a high alcohol content from old grape varieties was still made, until the Torres family changed course and started to upgrade the quality of the wines as a forerunner. Old grape varieties were replaced by more commercial varieties. The indigenous and newly planted exotic varieties are often blended with modern vinification techniques, which benefits the quality. want to know more about wine read our blog
