• Close in proximity to Barcelona on the Mediterranean coastline
• Region is known for its sparkling wines as well as prominent reds and whites
• Divided into three separate areas: the Alt-Penedès (High Penedès), the Mitja- Penedès (Middle Penedès) and the Baix-Penedes (Lower Penedès)
• Lower penedès has a warm and mild climate due to the influence of the sea
• Traditional white grape varieties such as Xarel•lo and Macabeo
• Red varieties such as Tempranillo, Garnacha, Cariñena and Monastrell
• Central penedès or Middle penedès temperatures are lower (Xarel•lo and Macabeo are cultivated, the majority of these grapes being for cava production)
• Upper penedès, with altitudes of up to 800 metres (2600 feet) above sea level, possibly the highest vineyards in Europe
• In the Upper penedès a native white, the parellada variety is traditionally grown (Muscat d’Alexandrie, Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Chenin Blanc, have acclimated to the area)
