Parellada

Lively, elegant whites with finely chiselled acidity and a light palate, with aromas of lemon, green apple, white flowers, fresh herbs and discreet mineral notes. Brings freshness and aromatic finesse to Cava DO blends (with macabeo and xarel-lo), defining the taut identity of Catalan sparkling wines. Also as light still whites in Penedès DO and Conca de Barberà DO. Native Catalan variety grown at altitude.

Sylvaner

Lively, understated whites with a tender palate and fresh acidity, with delicate aromas of citrus, white flowers, green apple, hay and typical mineral notes. Light and refreshing finish. Made as easy dry whites and more structured lees-aged cuvées. Star of Alsace AOC (one of the historic varieties), absolute signature of German Franconia (Silvaner on shell-limestone soils) and present in Austria and Switzerland. Central European variety of Austrian origin.
