Castellroig
Castellroig produces sparkling wines from Catalunya's renowned regions, where limestone soils and cool maritime influence shape crisp, mineral-driven expressions. The winery focuses on traditional méthode champenoise sparkling wines, drawing on three native white varieties: Xarel-lo, Macabeo, and Parellada. These grapes define the character of Catalan cava and Corpinnat—the region's designation for sparkling wines made under stricter protocols than cava itself. The Cava Sabaté i Coca Reserva Familiar, built on Xarel-lo alone, demonstrates the variety's capacity for complexity and structure. The Corpinnat bottlings—Josep Coca Corpinnat Brut Nature and Corpinnat Reserva Brut Nature—layer Macabeo's floral notes and Parellada's delicate acidity with extended aging. Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Wine Spectator have rated these releases, reflecting their technical precision and regional authenticity.
