The palate follows with refreshing precision, crisp, clean, and wonderfully easy to drink, balancing red fruit charm with lively acidity and a round, harmonious mouthfeel. Every sip lands with invigorating clarity and poised elegance.

Winemaker's Background:

Rooted in more than a century of dedication, Ramon Canals Canals traces its origins to 1903, when Miquel Canals Ollé began cultivating vineyards and crafting wines in Castellví de Rosanes. The family’s commitment deepened in 1975 when Miquel and his son, oenologist Ramon Canals Llaverol, released their first bottled wines and Cavas. Through the marriage of MªÀngels Canals Duran and Ramon Canals Llaverol, the modern-day estate was founded in 1978, continuing a legacy of quality and cultural heritage. Today, siblings Ramon and Marta Canals steward the winery into a contemporary era, Ramon guiding viticulture and winemaking with global experience from Champagne to Napa, and Marta overseeing administration and quality control. The family now produces wines across four appellations while maintaining their core values of sustainability, craftsmanship, and devotion to Penedès’ traditions.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve well-chilled in a tulip-shaped sparkling wine glass to highlight its fine moussé and red-fruit delicacy. Ideal as an apéritif, it also complements shellfish, light fish dishes, fresh salads, and other bright, uncomplicated fare. Its refreshing profile makes it as suitable for casual sipping as for pairing alongside coastal cuisine.

Lifted by its gentle elegance and approachable charm, 2022 Ramon Canals Canals 'Mont Paral' Vintage Rosé Cava offers remarkable value and a joyful expression of Penedès tradition, an easy favorite for those seeking pure, refreshing rosé sparkle.
