Producer
Grapes were grown in the Alt Penedès at Castellví de la Marca to the southwest of San Sant Sadurní d'Anoia at 300-400 metres. The Leonor de Carrera has a limey, mineral character with a lower proportion of Macabeo in the blend and more Xarel-lo and Parellada. It is crisp and well balanced on the palate with white fruit flavours shining through. The vineyard was previously owned by an elderly lady, Leonor: Josep promised her that he would look after her vines and continue her legacy of making quality Cava. This was his first solo project.
