Occasion
Let's get serious for a moment: this is a wine which, thanks to its qualities, promises a very good evolution in the bottle, if kept in optimal conditions. These are issues that should be remembered despite having a young wine like this. It will take you deep into the Penedès territory, with one of the varieties with the most personality. You just have to take one thing into consideration: it's so easy and pleasant to drink that the bottle will be finished in no time. A life hack to deal with this situation: don't buy them one at a time. You need to have a replacement very close to hand. Enjoy!
In the vineyard
Vineyards located in the Penedès. The soils are rocky and the vineyards have little water. Low yield per hectare and the vineyard is subjected to harsher conditions. Lower grape yield but wines with a unique structure, intensity and expressiveness.
In the winery
Premium quality must that undergoes controlled pressing to secure an excellent raw material. Clarification using natural products and respecting the nature of the wine. Natural yeasts.
Castell d'Or
Castell d'Or was created in 2006 after the union of a group of wineries from different winegrowing areas of the Penedès, Conca de Barberà, Priorat, Tarragona and Montsant.
These wineries, some dating back over a century, are committed to pooling their experience and expertise in the processes of producing, processing, packaging and distributing wines, cavas and oils, raising the quality of their products and brands until gaining recognition and prestige across the world.
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.
