Marques de Monistrol

Catalan Cava and Penedès blends with prestige critic recognition.

Marques de Monistrol produces wines from Catalunya, Spain's northeastern wine region. The winery focuses on two distinct expressions: traditional Cava and still wines rooted in Penedès terroir. Its Cava program centers on the indigenous grapes of the region—Parellada, Xarel-lo, and Macabeo—which form the backbone of both the Cava Winemaker's Select Reserva Brut Nature and the Cava Brut Nature Premium Cuvée. The latter incorporates Chardonnay alongside the native varieties, adding complexity to the blend. Both cavas have earned recognition from Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast. The winery's still wine offering, the Cabernet-Tempranillo Penedès, marries international and local grape varieties—Cabernet Sauvignon with the Spanish classic Tempranillo—reflecting the region's dual heritage. This blend has also received critical attention from the same prestige critics. The portfolio demonstrates a commitment to both the sparkling and dry wine traditions of Catalunya, with each wine calibrated to express its varietal composition and regional context.
