Frustrated with the mass production of so much Cava, a group of premium producers splintered off in 2015 to create their own DO. Translated as “Heart of Penedes,” Corpinnat must be organic, all-estate fruit, hand-harvested, vinified on premises, aged a minimum of 18 months…the list goes on! The result is a beautiful sparkling balancing fresh green apple, nectarine, and peach. The palate shows classic notes of brioche and almond that are lingering and lovely! Perfect on its own or with oysters and shrimp!
