Bodegas Pinord is a family business which was founded 150 years ago. Since then, generation after generation, year after year, the wines produced by the family have been growing in prestige, the indigenous varieties have improved markedly, and the family name has become inseparably linked to the Penedés area where they are based.
The Penedés district is situated between Barcelona and Tarragona, with the mountains of Montserrat marking the border in the north and the Mediterranean in the South. The soil is varied, contrasting from chalky clay to sandstone with distinct differences in depth so that the vines may take root. The mild Mediterranean climate is ideal for growing vines, indeed there is evidence that the Romans planted vineyards here. The slightly wetter weather in the valleys means that there is no need for irrigation.

Grapes
50% Macabeo

30% Xarel-lo

20% Parellada

Appearance
Brilliant appearance. It gives off a considerable amount of small and medium-sized bubbles. A good quantity of carbon dioxide causes a persistent foam to form in the glass. The colour is pale straw yellow.

Aroma
Fairly intense. Tertiary aromas from the second fermentation mingle with the aromas from the primary fermentation to give a distinctive bouquet.

Taste
This young Cava is frank on the palate with tastes developed in the bottle.  It has good body. Smooth and silky, the carbonic content keeps it fresh and lively, providing a long-lasting taste.
