Blau Cru Malvasia de Sitges 2023

Pardas, Penedes, Spain

Blau Cru is Celler Pardas’ single-varietal expression of Malvasia de Sitges, an ancient Mediterranean grape historically rooted along the Catalan coast. Planted inland at Can Comas beginning in 1996, the variety brings a striking contrast to the estate’s mineral-driven Xarel·lo wines offering intense salinity, vibrant acidity, and an expressive aromatic profile marked by lush fruit and Mediterranean character.
