The 1999 vintage was the first for this groundbreaking Penedès sparkling wine – produced since 2006 under the new Corpinnat banner. It is aged on the yeasts for 11 years or more.

Château de Beaucastel, Châteauneufdu-Pape, Rhône, France 2001
Charming, seductive nose, raspberry and cherry with damp leaves and tobacco. The attack is supple but rich, full-bodied and succulent. The tannins are beautifully polished and balanced by fine acidity. Very elegant for Châteauneuf – panache and persistence, and a long, peppery finish. 1990 vintage alsoDrink 2020-2026 Alc 14.5%
