Cava Mallarenga: The Crisp Authenticity of Penedès Identity

A Sparkling Wine Beating to the Rhythm of Our Terroir

Cava Mallarenga by Carol Vallès is a sincere tribute to the rich biodiversity of the Penedès region and the vibrant nature of the little bird that gives it its name. Handcrafted under traditional guidelines, this Brut Nature expression seeks to capture the pure essence of the Catalan landscape without any additives or sugar dosage. Boasting a prominent share of the local Xarel·lo grape, it unfolds as a direct, exceptionally fresh, and high-spirited sparkling wine, tailored for those who appreciate the honesty of a wine that speaks of sun-drenched Mediterranean vineyards and refreshing mountain breezes.

Narrative Tasting Note: A Song of Citric Clarity and Persistent Energy

In the glass, Cava Mallarenga shines with a gorgeous pale yellow color, clean and intensely bright, driven by a steady stream of fine, fast bubbles that rise joyfully to create a delicate crown. On the nose, an immediate crispness unfolds, dominated by notes of crunchy white fruits like green apple and juicy pear, layered over citrusy lime zest hints and subtle herbal undertones of wild fennel and white thyme. Behind this youthful front, elegant whispers of yeast and bread dough emerge from its patient cellaring. On the palate, it delivers a pure burst of vitality; the entry is bone-dry, sharp, and vibrant, featuring a structural core of electric, well-integrated acidity that sets the mouth watering. The effervescence is playful and crisp, leading into a clean finish with a pleasantly refreshing bitter twist and a long, citrus-driven aftertaste.
