Spanish Wine Grape – Parellada

Submitted by Ryan on Tuesday, 18 July 2006No Comment |

Pronounciation: Pa-re-yada
White grape native to the Catalunya region of Spain. Very productive and of a high quality it is one of the three primary grapes used in the production of Cava. Head to Catalunya and you’ll see it planted from Tarragona up through the PenedÃ©s and beyond. Tends to be best in cooler climates where citrus and apple aromas are created along with a good acidity. Rare to find varietal wines made from this grape though and most likely you will need to sip some Cava to understand it best!
