Perinet is a famous estate vineyard within the ancient Priorat DOQ, located in Catalonia, Spain. Perinet implies three very unique microclimates that allow winemakers to create some of the best Spanish wines. Perinet wines are fruit-forward in Mas Vell, vibrant and fresh in Mas del Xes and spice-laden, cooled by Mediterranean breezes in Pendents. Their traditional plantings of Grenache, Carignan and Syrah are enhanced with international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Catalonia Wines

Catalonia is a very important wine region in Spain. Compared to other wine regions in Spain, Catalonia is very different because there is a strong French influence. Thus, Spanish wines from Catalonia are highly regarded because of the Champagne-style sparkling wine Cava and its red table wines. While the red wines are mainly made from Tempranillo, Garnacha and Monastrell grapes, for cava the catalan winemakers use exclusively Macabeo, Parellada, Xarel-lo and Chardonnay varieties.

Cabernet Sauvignon Wines

Indigenous to Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon is the most famous black skinned grape variety in the world. In fact it is the product of a natural genetic crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. Besides its fame in Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon wines are highly regarded in the New World wine regions especially in California, Chile and South Australia. Undoubtedly the finest Cabernet Sauvignon wines are found in Bordeaux and California, a viewpoint supported by the 1976 Judgment of Paris.
