General Information

Although cavas are produced in various parts of our geography, Catalonia is the main driving force behind these sparkling wines. Here is where one of the classic wineries is located: Parxet. This Parxet Cuvée 21 Eco is crafted with organically farmed grapes from the macabeo, xarel·lo, and parellada varieties. It is fresh and complex, with a fine and elegant bubble that invites you to keep drinking.

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 located on their estate in Tiana, north of Barcelona. The distinctive silica soils characteristic of this wine-growing area give their wines a very special character. Today, Parxet is led by Ramón Raventós Basagoiti, a member of the illustrious cava-producing Raventós family behind Codorníu.

Parxet Cuvée 21 Eco (D.O. Cava) pairs perfectly with arroz a banda or fish dishes like oven-baked hake.

Creators' opinion

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 broad, fruity, and intense. On the palate, the aromatic and gustatory balance characteristic of the varieties explodes.

The 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.
