Penedes is Catalonia's most important table wine region, where pioneering producers such as Jean Leon and Miguel Torres modernised Spanish winemaking in the 1960s by introducing temperature-controlled fermentation and international grape varieties. The region produces fresh white wines from indigenous Macabeo and Xarel-lo alongside Chardonnay, and reds from Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon. Torres has become a worldwide benchmark for sustainable viticulture.
