Llopart
Llopart produces sparkling wines from Catalunya, drawing on indigenous grapes and regional tradition. The winery's core range centers on Cava and Corpinnat—the latter a designation for traditional-method sparkling wines made within a defined zone using hand-harvested fruit and extended aging. Cava Original Brut blends Xarel-lo, Macabeo, and Montonico Bianco into a wine rated 93.0 by prestige critics including Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Decanter. Corpinnat Leopardi Brut Nature, made from Xarel-lo alone, achieves 91.7. Panoramic Imperial Brut—a blend of Macabeo, Chardonnay, Xarel-lo, and Parellada—rates 91.0. These wines reflect the mineral, high-acid character typical of Catalan sparkling production, where cool nights and limestone soils favor crisp, food-friendly profiles. Xarel-lo, the region's signature variety, brings herbal notes and structure; Macabeo contributes freshness and floral aromatics. The Brut Nature designation signals minimal dosage, allowing the wine's natural acidity and complexity to dominate.
