    Sicus, Spain
    Eduard Pie Palomar was born and raised in the village of Bonastre in the lower Penedes close to the Mediterranean Sea, and is intent on championing the indigenous grape varieties of his homeland. Growing up in a farming family, he has been working the vines since 2009 after studying viticulture and enology and apprenticing at Jane Ventura, and currently works 11ha (7 family-owned plus 4 rented). He doesn’t till his vineyards, instead letting the native flora and fauna thrive, which keeps the soil teeming with beneficial microorganisms. He vinifies by parcel, fermenting in clay amphora, both in the cellar of the family winery and buried between the rows of vines in his vineyards, often with two cuvees from the same parcel (the buried fermentations are noted by “Sons” on the labels).

    Primarily associated with the Penedès region of Spain, Xarel-lo plays an important role in most Cava blends along with Parellada and Macabeo. Prized for its high levels of acidity and polyphenols, Xarel-lo adds strength, body and a distinct greengage or earthy character to these blends. Somm Secret—Just a few miles northeast of Barcelona, Xarel-lo vineyards around the town of Alella produce highly regarded still wines with fresh lemon and stone fruit flavors.

    A superior source of white grapes for the production of Spain’s prized sparkling wine, Cava, the Penedes region is part of Catalunya and sits just south of Barcelona. Medio Penedès is the most productive source of the Cava grapes, Macabeo, Xarel-lo, and Parellada. Penedes also grows Garnacha and Tempranillo (here called Ull de Llebre in Catalan), for high quality reds and rosès.
