CASTELLROIG, BEST XAREL•LO OF THE YEAR IN THE PENEDÈS

Castellroig Xarel•lo 2006 was awarded the platinum medal in the annual Competition of Quality wines from the DO Penedes region -Tastavins Sant Humbert

These awards are organized every year by the Tastavins del Penedès Academy in collaboration with the Regulating Council of the DO Penedes . This year, over 100 samples were entered from different cellars in the Peneds. The Special Category (platinum medal) is awarded for the effort to recover the tradition of producing wines with the most emblematic of the indigenous varieties of the Penedes region : Xarel•lo.

The award winning wine and the whole range of Castellroig wines and cavas come exclusively from the vineyards of the Sabaté i Coca estate and are produced entirely following the “terroir” philosophy, searching for maximum expression from the soil as its differenciating element.

This medal is further proof of the excellent quality and consistency of the wines produced by Sabaté i Coca, a cellar pioneer in producing wines of indigenous varieties.
