A fresh wine can provide a counterpoint to butter or cream, while a fuller texture can complement fried fish, poultry or roasted vegetables. Hold back very sweet glazes and strong vinegars so that the food does not overpower the wine's balance. Taste a small glass with the dish: salt and fat can make both the fruit and acidity appear differently than during the first tasting alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWine facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProducer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eMontrubí\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eVintage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e2022\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eSpain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eDO Penedès, Catalonia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWine type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrapes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Macabeu\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBottle size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e0.75 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOrganic\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e11%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAging\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e4 months in French oak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/montrubi\"\u003eRead about Montrubí\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/penedes-vinomraade\"\u003eRead about Penedès\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Montrubi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49471710298439,"sku":"53006-22","price":235.5,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/0619\/6551\/files\/vinea-fritlagt-47713002488135.png?v=1793373298"},{"product_id":"montrubi-seres-velles-macabeu-2022-kopi","title":"Montrubí Serres Velles Carinyena 2021","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMontrubí Serres Velles Carinyena 2021\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcentrated Carinyena from Penedès with black flowers, cherry, and six months of aging in used French oak.

The winery has a clear focus on local varieties such as Sumoll, Xarel·lo, Macabeu, and Carinyena. This creates a portfolio where the diversity of the grapes is part of the experience. Sumoll can show a lighter and fresher red wine profile, while Carinyena contributes a different kind of fruit and structure. The white wines expand the picture of Penedès.

Cooler nights, wind, and differences in soil can preserve the freshness of grapes that also receive plenty of sunlight. The local varieties are important to many of the region's producers, but international grapes are also included in several cuvées. This provides different possibilities for combining aromatic fruit, body, and structure. Empordà and Penedès each have their own geographical settings and should not be perceived as a single unified wine style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe grape and its expression\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wine made from a single grape variety can be a good starting point for getting to know the grape, but the growing site and production still matter greatly. The same variety can give different expressions depending on the climate, ripeness at harvest, and aging in the cellar. Therefore, use the specific tasting description together with the grape's name. A comparison with the same grape from another producer or region can make the differences in aroma, acidity, and texture clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose the food\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a red wine, the preparation is often just as important as the raw ingredient. A seared crust, mushrooms, and a sauce with a little depth can bring together the fruit and tannins, while very sweet accompaniments can make the wine seem sharper. Feel free to choose a dish from the suggestions above and keep the seasoning in balance. If the wine has firm tannins, protein and a little fat can provide a softer experience. Lighter dishes with herbs can instead highlight the aroma and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFacts about the wine\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProducer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eMontrubí\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eVintage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e2021\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eSpain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eDO Penedès, Catalonia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWine type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eRed wine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrapes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Carinyena\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBottle size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e0.75 L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOrganic\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e14%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAging\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e6 months in used French oak\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSulfur\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eNo added sulfur\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/montrubi\"\u003eRead about Montrubí\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/penedes-vinomraade\"\u003eRead about Penedès\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Montrubi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49471711740231,"sku":"53006-22","price":235.5,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/0619\/6551\/files\/vinea-fritlagt-47667802964295.png?v=1793373307"}],"url":"https:\/\/vinea.dk\/en\/collections\/penedes.oembed","provider":"Vinea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
