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

Cristina is crafted only in the finest vintages, when the growers see their hard work rewarded with the greatest prize: a perfect grape. It is the result of meticulous winemaking, where 60 month ageing is completed with a dosage made from our most special expedition liqueur, based on barrel‑fermented Xarel·lo.

Tasting notes

Pale yellow with greenish reflections, showing excellent bottle evolution. Extremely fine, persistent bubbles forming a perfect crown. The nose is fresh and elegant, with ripe white stone fruit such as apple, subtle floral hints and a delicate pastry touch. On the palate it is balanced, fresh and creamy. The bubble is beautifully integrated, giving a smooth mouthfeel, with pleasant toasted notes and an anise‑tinged finish.

Food pairing

Perfect with brothy rice dishes, red meats, seafood, grilled fish and even foie gras. Excellent with dark chocolate desserts.
