The Penedés region or denomination of origin is an area where wines are made. Likewise, Penedés wines are highly recognized throughout the world. The reason is the enormous quality of many of them thanks to the work and constant innovation of many of their wineries. For this reason, the Penedés denomination constitutes one of the most important denominations of origin in Spain.

This wine region is located in the province of Barcelona. Specifically, it covers some 47 municipalities in the region known as Penedés. In addition, it is important to note that this region has traditionally been an important wine producer.

The Penedés vineyards stand out for being located in the Catalan Pre-coastal Depression. Consequently, most of the vineyards are located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Montsant mountain. This gives rise to very peculiar climatic influences with a great diversity of microclimates. Thus, although the climate is purely Mediterranean, the higher altitude vineyards enjoy greater rainfall and more marked contrasts in temperature. Consequently, the Penedés has very diverse vineyards with a great quality of grapes.

The grape varieties that are mainly grown in Penedés are Chardonnay, Xarel lo, Macabeo, Parellada and Riesling in white. While, in red, the red Grenache, Syrah, Merlot, Monastrell and Cabernet Sauvignon stand out, among others. Specifically, Xarel·lo is the local grape variety par excellence. Thanks to it, very fruity and aromatic Penedés wines are produced.

Certainly, it can be stated categorically that the Penedés wines are very rich and varied. This is due to its climatic and orographic diversity, as well as the region's winemaking tradition and the quality of its grape varieties. For this reason, it is very interesting to know and taste the wines of the Penedés while enjoying the wine culture of this region.
