Bodega Mastinell is a winery dedicated to crafting long‑aged cavas and organic wines, blending innovation with deep respect for the winemaking heritage of Penedès. Founded in 1980 in a privileged setting sheltered by the Sant Pau mountain, it has grown from a small family project into one of the ten most prestigious cava producers in Penedès, holding the distinguished Elaborador Integral certification, which ensures that every stage of cava production takes place entirely on the estate. Its philosophy centers on love for the land, organic viticulture, hand harvesting, and meticulous selection, working with emblematic local varieties such as Xarel·lo, Macabeo, Parellada, Trepat, Malvasía de Sitges and Sumoll, alongside Chardonnay. With cutting‑edge technology, strict quality control and long ageing —Reserva and Gran Reserva— Mastinell has earned numerous international awards and a presence in top restaurants worldwide.

Winemaking

Cava Carpe Gran Reserva, first organic cava, reflects how fortunate Mastinell feel to be dedicated to crafting an exclusive sparkling wine. It stands out for its sweetness, elegance and preserved freshness. A perfect alliance of Macabeo, Xarel·lo, Parellada and Chardonnay, all hand‑harvested and carefully selected. Carpe Diem is a fresh, vibrant and lively cava that does not renounce the maturity gained during its long ageing.

Tasting notes

Pale yellow with greenish highlights. On the nose it is lively and youthful. Citrus, aniseed and white‑flower notes define both aroma and palate. Its broad, creamy mouthfeel is the result of long ageing, without losing freshness. Floral aftertaste with hints of mint.

Food pairing

Brothy rice dishes, seafood in sauce, white meats, sushi, oysters and foie gras.
