Penedès Quality: Qalidès

Recently, nine wineries from the Penedès region have joined forces in the name of quality.

Led by Miguel Torres one of Spain's leading wine producers and exporters, this association is dedicated to protecting the environment and the promoting the fine wines of the Penedès. The region produces not only very enjoyable young and fruity white wines as well as cava, Spain's traditional method sparkling wine, but also some top notch reds. To quote the association's president, Joan Huguet of the Huguet de Can Feixes winery "a great countryside must be able to produce a great wine". The founding member wineries are, in addition to Torres and Huguet de Can Feixes: Jean Leon , Can Ràfols dels Caos, Mas Comtal, Albet i Noya, Gramona, Jané Ventura and Cellers Puig & Roca.
Hopefully the Qalidès association can help bring more awareness to these excellent wines.
