Parxet is synonymous with high quality cava. A historic winery that has never stopped innovating since its beginnings over one hundred years ago, it is no surprise that it was one of the first wineries to bring a Brut Nature to market. Parxet Brut, made using the native varieties Pansa Blanca, Macabeo and Parellada, is the ideal cava for accompanying rice and fish dishes. Its fruity aromas and broad palate make it hard to resist pouring another glass.

The Winery
The first bottles of Parxet Cava were launched in 1920, made using the méthode champenoise in the very same place that wines have been made since the 18th Century. Parxet is now a leading winery in the production of artisanal cavas, the largest producer in the D.O. Alella (in the province of Barcelona). It celebrated its first centenary as an icon of tradition and quality, as well as being recognised as a pioneer in the production of cavas using the Pansa Blanca grape variety.
