Vineyards

Parellada "Can Peritxó" is produced from organically grown Parellada grapes sourced from the high-altitude Can Peritxó vineyard in Penedès, positioned at 700 metres above sea level. This vineyard is surrounded by the Pontons forest, which provides a unique microclimate that enhances the wine's character. The vines thrive in shallow, well-drained clay-limestone soils, managed sustainably under biodynamic practices, which bring out Mediterranean freshness and complexity in the wine.

Winemaking

The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts, undergoing a gentle maceration on skins for a short period to add depth and texture. Fermentation takes place in underground cement tanks, naturally controlling temperature and ensuring purity. The wine is aged in large chestnut barrels for additional complexity, giving Parellada "Can Peritxó" its distinctive, nuanced character.

Appearance

A light, golden hue with a delicate amber tint, hinting at the subtle skin contact.

Nose

Aromatic and elegant, with notes of apple, pear, and hints of Mediterranean herbs, complemented by a soft floral touch and minerality.

Palate

On the palate, it is fresh yet layered, with flavours of orchard fruits, gentle acidity, and a subtle, creamy texture. The mouthfeel is soft, with a smooth, lingering finish that captures the essence of Penedès terroir.

Food pairing

Ideal with light salads, soft cheeses, and Mediterranean seafood dishes, this wine pairs perfectly with refined, fresh flavours.

Background

Founded in 1624, Cellers de Can Suriol embodies centuries of winemaking tradition, led by the Suriol family, who manage over 30 hectares divided into more than 25 micro-plots. Their commitment to sustainability, biodynamic principles, and low-intervention methods is reflected in each bottle, capturing the natural beauty and historical terroir of Penedès.
