The Honeymoon is a white wine mainly made from the Parellada grape variety, one of the native grapes of Penedès. The grapes are grown in vineyards located at an altitude of between 500 and 700 meters, which provides greater acidity and freshness to the grapes due to the cool nights and warm days.
The process of making the Honeymoon begins with a manual harvest, selecting the grapes at their optimal ripeness. Subsequently, the grapes are gently pressed and the obtained must ferments at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks. This slow fermentation process helps preserve the fresh and fruity aromas characteristic of the Parellada. The wine does not undergo barrel aging, which helps maintain its light and fresh profile.
