General Information
Parxet has been producing cavas for a century. Their sparkling wines originate in the Alella region (north of Barcelona), characterized by its sandy soils known as 'sauló', and age in the underground cellars of the Tiana estate. Parxet Brut Reserva is a vintage cava created through a blend of parellada, pansa blanca (xarel·lo), macabeo, and chardonnay.
The whole grape pressing and low-temperature fermentation allow for the base wines needed to be obtained, which, when properly mixed and after a minimum aging of 15 months, result in a Reserva cava that highlights the personality brought by the pansa blanca, very fresh and expressive.
Parxet is a family winery whose tradition in cava production dates back to the early 20th century. Their sparkling wines age in the underground cellars of their Tiana estate, north of Barcelona. The unique silica soils characteristic of this wine-growing area give their wines a very special character.
Parxet Brut Reserva (D.O. Cava) is an excellent choice to accompany gazpachos, vegetables, and rice dishes.
Creators' opinion
Parxet Brut Reserva displays a very pale tone with green reflections, very fine and persistent bubbles with a tendency to form a crown of foam. On the nose, it is delicate, with notes of white fruit and a background of aging aromas. On the palate, it is broad, with personality and volume.
The winery
Winery
Parxet is a benchmark winery in the production of cavas and the most important one in the small D.O. Alella (Barcelona). A family-owned company with a centuries-old winemaking tradition, characterized by its innovative spirit. In fact, it was one of the first brands to market a Brut Nature (1965). The history of Parxet begins in the 18th century, when the Suñol family acquired the Mas Parxet estate in Tiana, starting winemaking activities there. However, it was not until 1918 that this winery began producing cavas.
In the mid-1980s, Parxet merged with another of Alella's most important wineries, located in the municipality of Santa María de Martorelles and dedicated to the production of white wine. Thus, Parxet S.A. has a dual identity: in Santa María de Martorelles, a winery with modern facilities surrounded by its own vineyard, where the base wines for the cavas and the white Marqués de Alella are produced; and in Tiana, the modernist building Mas Parxet, where the bottle aging of the cavas takes place in the underground cellars built in 1918.
At Parxet, they work following the traditional method of sparkling wine production, starting with the selection of vineyards and adhering to the strictest respect for the natural product.
