Indeed, we had the immense pleasure of hosting a very special guest: <strong>Albert Pica, head winemaker of the renowned <a href=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/en\/25_carol-valles\">Celler Carol Vall\u00e8s<\/a><\/strong>, who travelled expressly to guide us through an exclusive tasting designed to find the perfect matches for the shortest night of the year, making it an unmissable event for lovers of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/en\/25_carol-valles\">Cellers Carol Vall\u00e8s<\/a> in Manresa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\">With the passion that defines him, Albert brought us closer to the essence of the most artisanal Pened\u00e8s through three surprising proposals that shatter traditional Cava standards. To begin with, we started the journey with the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/en\/cava\/16422-parellada-i-faura.html\">Parellada i Faura<\/a><\/strong>, showcasing the elegance of a local grape variety taken to its highest expression through chronological aging. Next, we discovered the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/en\/cava\/16155-mallerenga-8437004366290.html\">Mallerenga<\/a><\/strong>, a Xarel\u00b7lo-driven blend bursting with character and a vibrant freshness that instantly awakens the senses. Finally, we wrapped up the experience with the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/en\/cava\/16457-trastocat.html\">Trastocat<\/a><\/strong>, a rebellious and daring masterstroke that promises to be the true soul of any celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Tast-Carol-Valles-1024x572.png\" alt=\"Cava tasting chronicle: image featuring three vintage-style Cava bottles with glasses in front: a Cava Parellada i Faura, a Cava Trastocat, and a Cava Gran Reserva Brut Nature, set on a wooden table inside a winery, for a Wonderful Wines blog post.\" class=\"wp-image-473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Tast-Carol-Valles-1024x572.png 1024w, https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Tast-Carol-Valles-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Tast-Carol-Valles-768x429.png 768w, https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Tast-Carol-Valles.png 1376w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\">Three Cavas with their own distinct identity, perfect for toasting between bonfires, wishes, and, of course, for accompanying our traditional &#8216;cocas de Sant Joan&#8217; in ways you would have never imagined. Want to find out how to pair them? We explain it all in thorough detail within our product sheets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-4\">Celler Carol Vall\u00e8s: The Art of Long-Aged Cava in the Heart of Pened\u00e8s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5 wp-block-paragraph\">Nestled in the shelter of Subirats, right in the heart of the Alt Pened\u00e8s region, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/en\/25_carol-valles\">Celler Carol Vall\u00e8s<\/a><\/strong> reflects a family philosophy deeply rooted in the land and the passage of time. Since its inception, this small winery has unequivocally committed to the artisanal production of high-quality, minimal-intervention Cavas, turning every bottle into a genuine project of patience. With respect for biodiversity as their main standard, the technical team seeks to capture the purest, most sincere expression of the Mediterranean landscape. As a result, they craft exceptional sparkling wines that you can now find at Wonderful Wines, consolidating the presence of unique projects like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/en\/25_carol-valles\">Cellers Carol Vall\u00e8s<\/a> in Manresa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-6\">How is Cava Crafted at Carol Vall\u00e8s? Varieties, Time, and Craftsmanship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7 wp-block-paragraph\">The excellence of Carol Vall\u00e8s sparkling wines stems from meticulous attention to every single detail of the process, from the vine to the table. Their identity is first rooted in working with <strong>indigenous Pened\u00e8s varieties<\/strong>, mainly <strong>Xarel\u00b7lo<\/strong>\u2014which provides structure, body, and a magnificent aging potential\u2014and <strong>Parellada<\/strong>, responsible for the finest elegance, subtlety, and floral aromas. Furthermore, all vineyards are cultivated strictly following the criteria of <strong>organic viticulture<\/strong>, always respecting the natural cycles of the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8 wp-block-paragraph\">One of the great pillars of the winery is undoubtedly its firm commitment to <strong>extended aging<\/strong>. Far from commercial rushes, their Cavas rest in the silence of the cellar for years, evolving into Reserva and Gran Reserva categories. Therefore, this optimal time allows the bubbles to become incredibly refined while the wine develops a creamy complexity with unmistakable pastry notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9 wp-block-paragraph\">However, what truly sets them apart and keeps tradition alive is the process of <strong>manual disgorgement at room temperature<\/strong>. At Carol Vall\u00e8s, every single bottle is inspected and opened by hand, one by one, without freezing the bottleneck. This ancestral method requires the skill and craft of the artisan, allowing the lees to be expelled completely naturally. Consequently, it is a gesture of deep respect toward the product that guarantees the Cava reaches the consumer in an optimal state of purity, preserving all the nuances achieved during years of aging intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-10\"><strong>Parellada i Faura Gran Reserva Cava<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f56f613f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/en\/cava\/16422-parellada-i-faura.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"502\" height=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/V24365.png\" alt=\"A bottle of Cava Parellada i Faura Gran Reserva from Cellers Carol Vall\u00e8s with its elegant label against a white background for the Wonderful Wines online shop.\" class=\"wp-image-466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/V24365.png 502w, https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/V24365-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/V24365-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-11 wp-block-paragraph\">The Parellada i Faura is a clear tribute to the passage of time and the subtlety of Pened\u00e8s viticulture. Crafted by Celler Carol Vall\u00e8s, this Gran Reserva sparkling wine comes from selected old vineyards. Thus, it stands out for a long aging period that scrupulously respects the typicity of the fruit, making it a sophisticated choice filled with history for grand occasions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-12 wp-block-paragraph\">Upon serving, the wine immediately seduces with its clean golden hue and an ultra-fine bubble that rises with an almost ceremonious elegance. Next, the aroma evolves fascinatingly in the glass, unfolding notes of ripe white fruit intertwined with hints of toasted nuts, butter, and subtle nuances of fine pastries resulting from its long stay on the lees. Likewise, on the palate, it proves majestic and broad, with a velvety texture that completely envelops the mouth, supported by a lively and perfectly integrated acidity that brings surprising freshness leading into a long, dry, and highly distinguished finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-13 wp-block-paragraph\">Forget about light appetizers. This Gran Reserva possesses enough structure to stand up to <strong>duck cooked with pears or figs<\/strong>, or even a <strong>bluefin tuna tataki with a sesame crust and a mild soy sauce reduction<\/strong>. It is equally sublime when served alongside <strong>traditional truffle-infused roasted meat cannelloni<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-14\"><strong>Mallerenga Brut Nature Cava<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f56f613f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/en\/cava\/16155-mallerenga-8437004366290.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"502\" height=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/V120388.png\" alt=\"A bottle of Cava Mallerenga Brut Nature, an organic Chardonnay sparkling wine from Carol Vall\u00e8s available for sale.\" class=\"wp-image-467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/V120388.png 502w, https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/V120388-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/V120388-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-15 wp-block-paragraph\">Mallerenga is a tribute to uniqueness, a long-aged Brut Nature Cava where the <strong>Chardonnay<\/strong> variety takes absolute center stage to demonstrate its full potential in the Pened\u00e8s region. Under the artisan hallmark of Celler Carol Vall\u00e8s, this internationally styled sparkling wine stands out for its fineness, moving away from clich\u00e9s and offering a surprising gastronomic structure that enriches the catalogue of <strong>Cellers Carol Vall\u00e8s in Manresa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-16 wp-block-paragraph\">This Cava captivates in the glass from the very first moment thanks to a bright yellowish color with beautiful golden highlights and an incredibly fine bubble that forms a persistent stream. Its aromatic profile is rich and seductive, opening with notes of ripe white fruit and subtle hints of pineapple and tropical fruit, which quickly give way to elegant undertones of butter, dried fruits, and fine pastries in the background. The entry on the palate is sumptuous yet surprisingly fresh; for this reason, it stands out for a creamy and unctuous texture that fills the mouth, beautifully balanced by a well-integrated citric acidity that carries the wine into a long, clean, and deeply elegant finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-17 wp-block-paragraph\">Its magnificent aged Chardonnay structure calls for dishes with creaminess and depth. Therefore, we encourage you to pair it with a <strong>truffle and porcini mushroom risotto topped with fine Parmigiano cheese<\/strong>, a <strong>baked sea bass with Hollandaise sauce<\/strong>, or surprise your guests by serving it with <strong>gourmet roasted chicken and foie gras croquettes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-18\"><strong>Trastocat Cava by Carol Vall\u00e8s<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-f56f613f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/en\/cava\/16457-trastocat.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"502\" height=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WW348.png\" alt=\"A bottle of Cava Trastocat from Carol Vall\u00e8s, a rebellious and organic sparkling wine with long aging on the lees.\" class=\"wp-image-468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WW348.png 502w, https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WW348-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/wonderfulwines.es\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WW348-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-19 wp-block-paragraph\">Trastocat is Celler Carol Vall\u00e8s\u2019 rebellious cry\u2014a Cava designed to leave prejudices behind and enjoy wine completely free from constraints. Crafted following strict organic farming methods, it is a sparkling wine with a strong, distinct personality. Consequently, it is tailor-made for those eager to be surprised and enjoy an authentic, uninhibited experience outside of any established rules, available thanks to the commitment of <strong>Cellers Carol Vall\u00e8s in Manresa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-20 wp-block-paragraph\">Its immense vitality shines through from the start, boasting a clean, brilliant color accompanied by a steady stream of constant bubbles that fill the glass with joy. Likewise, the nose unfolds like a true celebration, featuring prominent, ripe white stone fruits harmoniously combined with light hints of bakery and toasted bread that grant it complex depth. On the palate, it surprises with its bold character, showcasing a well-rounded balance between a creamy texture that provides volume and a cheeky freshness that cleanses the palate, ultimately finishing with a long, clean, and wonderfully luscious aftertaste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-21 wp-block-paragraph\">A Cava this rebellious demands an immediate departure from your comfort zone. For instance, try it alongside <strong>Mexican cochinita pibil tacos<\/strong> (where the acidity and effervescence masterfully tame the meat&#8217;s spice and richness) or with a <strong>gourmet pizza topped with caramelized onions, fresh figs, blue cheese, and duck prosciutto<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-22\">A Day of Bubbles, Identity, and Artisan Traditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-23 wp-block-paragraph\">In short, last Friday afternoon was much more than a simple wine tasting on the eve of Sant Joan. It was a unique opportunity to understand the rich heritage of Pened\u00e8s through the eyes of a family-run winery that has made patience and ecological respect its daily driving engine. Thanks to Albert Pica&#8217;s insights, we witnessed firsthand how combining extended aging with respect for the artisanal legacy of manual disgorgement translates into exceptional sparkling wines. From the classic delicacy of Parellada i Faura to the rich, unctuous profile of Mallerenga&#8217;s Chardonnay, and the wonderful irreverence of Trastocat, every bottle opens up an incredible array of gastronomic possibilities for our tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-24 wp-block-paragraph\">If you are eager to experience this yourself or wish to secure the perfect bottles for your upcoming celebrations, we warmly invite you to explore the rest of the Carol Vall\u00e8s range.
