Accolades

Organic Wine
Vegan Wine
Though made entirely the same way as all wines, vegan wines are wines in which during the winemaking step of "fining" that is needed to filter the wine, no animal-based products are used. The most common fining agents used by the wine industry are egg whites and milk protein. Vegan wines instead use alternatives such as clay or plant-based fining agents.
Critique Review
"Complex yeasty, toasty nose introduces a richer styled, creamy, medium-bodied palate with notes of hazelnut jostling with crisp, zesty-citrus characters that linger nicely on the finish."

Vineyard Info
Founded in 1896 by Don Federico Paternina, Paternina is now owned by Marques de la Concordia. We are one of the leading Cava producers, having established winemaking at the property in Sant Sadurni d’Anoia in the 1880s, in the heart of Penedes. Since then quality has been the byword in the production of some of the best sparkling wines from Spain.
Our vineyards have been washed by the warm waters of the Mediterranean and protected by the gigantic Monserrat massif the cold north wind. Calcareous and silicaceous clay soils.
