Penedes, the coastal region at the heart of Catalunya about 40km south of Barcelona, is perhaps best known for its huge contribution to Cava production. Here white grapes predominate - particularly Xarel-lo and Macabeo, as well as the more fragrant international varieties - gown on well drained soils in both continental and maritime climates. Though typically mild, warm and Mediterranean within lies three separate zones, split according to altitude, distance from the sea and soil type; from the coastal Baix Penedes through Penedes Central to the Alt Penedes. Xarel-lo here is like nothing else offering the perfect balance of smooth, silky, medium bodied wines, fruity and aromatic with fresh acidity and alcohol.
Founded in 1963 as a result of the desire of more than 650 wine growers who wanted to produce the wine from their harvest together, Covides Vinyes is currently the 1st Grade wine cooperative in Catalonia and now has more than 700 active partners who care for around 2,000 ha, divided into more than 50 rural areas of Penedès. Covides has 3 wineries located in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Sant Cugat Sesgarrigues and Vilafranca del Penedès to process the grapes from its farmers and produce the corresponding cavas, white, rosé and red wines. The facilities of these three wineries have cutting-edge technology whilst honoring tradition, so much so that they have been recognized with internationally prestigious awards for their modernity and efficiency.
