In the fully blind tasting, Hudin awarded 90 points or more to 80% of the CORPINNAT sparkling wines tasted and states that the group of producers “has a more uniform profile and identity than can be found in any other sector of Spanish sparkling wine”.
Hudin also highlighted that CORPINNAT’s focus on local varieties such as Xarel·lo and Parellada (the primary grapes in all the highest-rated wines) has been crucial in developing a consistent, high-quality profile for the Penedès region and, although he noted stylistic differences between the producers, he believes that a comprehensive high-quality sparkling wine option for consumers has developed very quickly.
