The perfect combination for lovers of this type of wine. You'll never get tired of it, and it will have you coming back for more. You'll also see how it goes so well with all the pairing suggestions.

In the vineyard
The legacy of previous generations of winegrowers provides a trusted hallmark. From Gelida to El Vendrell and throughout the Penedès, more than 2,300 hectares of vineyards spread across more than fifty towns and villages make up the Covides vineyard.
In the winery
The grapes are selected, meticulously prepared, aged for twelve months in oak barrels and refined in the bottle in the Covides cellars.
Covides
Covides is the leading wine cooperative in Catalonia in terms of volume, with an average annual harvest of around twenty-four million kilos of grapes.
It stems from the desire of more than six hundred winegrowers from the Penedès to use their harvests to make wine together.
Do Penedès
The DO Penedès is the Denomination of Origin with the most history and tradition in Catalonia, located just forty kilometres away from Barcelona.
Thanks to its geographical location, it produces wines influenced by the sea breezes that come from the Garraf coast and reach the pre-coastal mountain range. After centuries of winemaking tradition, the DO Penedès is approaching the future as a benchmark in Catalonia.
