Premium Spanish sparkling wines with character

Premium Sparkling Wines

The best sparkling wine is no longer found only in the Champagne region of France. Sparkling wines are produced all over the world, with different grapes and techniques used to distinguish individual styles in many countries or regions.

Spanish sparkling wines from the Penedés

For your wine connoisseur, Zoltan Nagy, my favorites are those from the Penedés area. South of Barcelona, about a 35-minute drive away, it was there at the end of the 19th century that the production of sparkling wines using the traditional method began. Today, the times we live in may not be the most favorable for celebrating something. Nevertheless, it is always a good time to drink sparkling wines. And those from the Penedés, even more so. When people think of sparkling wine, they think of elegance, glamour, luxury and celebrations. Apart from the pleasure the bubbles offer on the palate — those sensual caresses — drinking sparkling wine is also an extravagant audiovisual pleasure. The music of wine begins once the bottle is opened, the cork flies, and the bubbles start to become a unique part of an inimitable flavor.

The holidays, the ideal time to enjoy sparkling wines

In this post, Zoltan gives you some ideas of what you can open in the coming days with your closest loved ones. The luxury of sharing moments around wine may be one of the most cosmic pleasures right now. That is why, at Made in Spain, we have a variety that suits any moment. From those I’ve selected this year for our wine shop at MadeinSpain.store, here is my Top 5 that I always have at home and that can never be missing.

Vins el Cep - MIM Natura Pinot Noir

Vins el Cep produces this 100% rosé cava from the Pinot Noir variety. Seductive color, very Instagrammable; for these holidays it will be a bottle that dresses the table. It will charm all your guests with its fresh attack, good acidity, and because on the palate it shows great balance and density. Surprising your guests is not easy, so give them a pink moment.

Llopart - Leopardi Brut Nature

Enjoy the small moments in life, since the big moments tend to be fewer and far between; that’s why this Corpinnat sparkling wine will make the day truly memorable. With an elegant design and a label that reflects a panoramic view of the Llopart farmhouse in Costa, surrounded by mountains, the Gran Reserva will be the perfect choice to pair with salads, shellfish and white fish on your table.

Torelló Especial Edition Brut

For lovers of appetizers, the Brut from Bodegas Torelló is the ideal bottle to open while preparing the table — sip it slowly to open the appetite. There are many indisputable reasons to drink sparkling wine with appetizers; once Marilyn did it with a bag of potato chips, so start thinking about how you’d like to enjoy it.

Recaredo Terrers 2016

A biodynamic sparkling wine, suitable for vegans, it is the expression of the Alt Penedés region. A top-tier wine — of the ten people who try it, ten fall in love with it — because of its quality, its price and, of course, its timeless aroma and flavor. These sparkling wines require time and care, and anyone who tastes it knows it elevates you to the heavens. It’s an excellent option to keep in the fridge, always cold, to drink with guests or alone; when you’re sad it brightens your day, and when you’re euphoric and happy everything is magnified. Drink it whenever you feel like it.

EMMM Brut Majara

Those small moments that seem to be nothing are what make us live one of the greatest experiences of life. Pairing it with the Mencía Brut from Javier Álvarez is, without a doubt, the secret to happiness. Almázcara Majara is not a conventional winery; it is truly one that leaves a mark. Getting friends together to share meals, moments and one of the 900 bottles of this sparkling wine made in El Bierzo using the traditional method won’t be easy, but if you manage it, it’s a colorful umbrella for sunny days. A safe bet! I hope I’ve helped you choose quality Spanish sparkling wines. Not because we need to practice local economics, but because they are excellent and of the highest quality.
