Discover Blanc Pescador by Castillo Perelada

Blanc Pescador is an exceptional Spanish white wine celebrated not just for its enticing light effervescence, but also for its deep-rooted connection to the Mediterranean landscape. Crafted by the reputable Castillo Perelada, this bottle captures the vibrant essence of Catalonia’s Empordà region, known for its rich viticultural history and seaside influences.

A Unique Winemaking Tradition

Castillo Perelada, a historic winery centered around a medieval castle, has cemented its place in Spanish viticulture with a commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability. Founded in the picturesque region of Empordà, northeastern Spain, the winery produces a diverse range of wines, with Blanc Pescador standing as a testament to their dedication to tradition and environmental consciousness.

As a vino de aguja or “needle wine,” Blanc Pescador features a mild sparkle, born out of natural fermentation processes. Unlike other sparkling wines that rely heavily on carbonation techniques, Blanc Pescador’s gentle fizz is organic in nature, offering a refreshing and lightly bubbly experience.

An Iconic Blend of Cava Grapes and Terrior

Blanc Pescador’s composition predominantly includes Macabeo, Xarel-lo, and Parellada grapes. These are the same grapes that define the spirit of Cava, yet the light sparkle distinguishes Blanc Pescador as more than just a sparkling wine. By harnessing the maritime climate of Empordà and its mineral-rich sandy soils, the wine retains a crisp freshness and subtle salinity that makes it a perfect companion for seafood.

Sensory Delight

In appearance, Blanc Pescador is a visual delight, boasting a pale straw yellow hue with greenish glints and a flurry of fine bubbles that tease with their subtleness. On the nose, it’s a bouquet of fresh floral notes, bright green apple, lively citrus, and a drop of honey. Its palate is a dance of crisp texture, bright lemon and apple flavors, and a clean finish that lingers with floral and mineral hints.

Perfectly Paired with Seafood

This wine thrives in a symphony with seafood, offering a refreshing match to oysters, calamari, and a vast array of Mediterranean dishes. Whether you’re enjoying tapas, a vibrant salad, or light cheeses, Blanc Pescador seamlessly enhances your dining experience.

Enjoyment with a Conscience

Beyond the glass, Castillo Perelada’s focus on sustainability and marine conservation invigorates every bottle of Blanc Pescador, embodying a wine that’s both delicious and ethically inspiring. The winery frequently collaborates with marine conservation initiatives, ensuring that their environmental impact is as delightful as their wines.
