## About this wine

Covides Vinyes i Bodegues was founded in 1963 and has grown to become one of Catalonia's major winemaking cooperatives, bringing together hundreds of local grape growers across the Penedès region. Headquartered in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, the historic heartland of Spanish sparkling wine, Covides crafts traditional-method Cavas that showcase indigenous Catalan grape varieties and regional viticultural heritage.

## Interesting facts

- Crafted entirely from Trepat, an indigenous red grape endemic to Catalonia used specifically for rosé Cavas.
- Produced by Covides, a historic cooperative established in 1963 representing hundreds of small vineyard owners across Penedès.
- Aged underground in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, the recognized capital of Spanish Cava production.

## Food pairing

The high natural acidity and refreshing effervescence of this sparkling rosé slice through rich proteins and oils in seafood and cured meats, while its delicate profile complements poultry without overpowering subtle flavours.

## Wine making process

Produced using the traditional method (Método Tradicional). Hand-selected Trepat grapes undergo a temperature-controlled primary fermentation before being bottled for secondary fermentation. The wine matures on its lees in Covides' underground cellars in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia before disgorgement.
