Cava Parellada i Faura by Carol Vallès is a true statement of intent that highlights the sheer delicacy and verticality of the Parellada grape. Meticulously handcrafted in the heart of the Penedès region, this cava comes from selected vineyards where the focus is on the ultimate expression of the terroir. Thanks to a patient and extended aging process in the darkness of the cellars, the wine transcends the initial lightness of the grape variety to become a sparkling wine of grand structural complexity, while always keeping a subtle, clean elegance and an exceptionally fine mouthfeel as its hallmark.
In the glass, it reveals a seductive pale yellow color with bright golden reflections, showcasing an incredibly fine bubble stream that creates a persistent bead and a harmonious crown. On the nose, its majestic complexity unfolds instantly; an array of aromas highlighting ripe white fruit such as apple and pear, seamlessly intertwined with elegant notes of fine brioche, roasted nuts, and a subtly floral backdrop of undergrowth and aromatic herbs. The palate is pure balance and creaminess; the entry is fresh and delicate, followed by a velvety texture where the bubbles blend flawlessly with the wine, adding volume without losing any vibrancy. The finish is remarkably long, clean, highly expressive, and framed by a distinct saline minerality that invites you to keep enjoying this artisanal jewel.
The magnificent bubble refinement and structure of this Carol Vallès Cava make it ideal for breaking traditional rules and exploring high-gastronomy combinations:
Noble Fried Dishes & Crispy Textures: The absolute match made in heaven for Andalusia-style squids cooked in ultra-fine flour or crisp seasonal vegetable and prawn tempura. The cava's vibrant acidity and bubbling action seamlessly cut through the rich oils of the fry, instantly cleansing the palate.
Wild Game & Fruity Twists: Dare to pair it alongside a wild rabbit dish or a duck magret served with red berry sauce or caramelized figs. The rich autolytic and pastry notes of the cava integrate beautifully with the complexity of the meat, while its pristine freshness balances the sweetness of the fruit.
