Conversations with Winemakers in Spain's Penedès Region1
Conversations with Winemakers in Spain’s Penedès Region1 Prepared by Lucia and John Gilbert, June 2015 We have been studying the career paths of U.S. winemakers who are women, mostly in California, for the past three years (www.womenwinemakers.com), and are extending this research to winemakers in Spain. Our first trip, in July 2014, was to the Rioja wine region where we had conversations with several of its women winemakers.2 Our more recent trip, in April 2015, was to the Penedès, a wine region located in the autonomous community of Catalonia and a short drive west of Barcelona. A Parés Baltà Vineyard high above Sant Marti Sarroca We stayed at a small hotel in the town of Vilafranca del Penedès. This location was selected because it was an easy drive from the hotel to the wineries that we had arranged to visit well in advance. Appointments are required. Arranging the Visits and Conversations We were fortunate to be able to schedule winery visits and conversations with five highly impressive women we identified through our research. These five women craft their wines at bodegas having varying levels of production and are involved in producing Cava, still wines, or both. Laura Tragant at Codorníu, Eva Plazas Torné at Vilarnau, Maria Elena Jiménez and Marta Casas at Parés Baltà, and Mireia Torres Maczassek at Jean Leon Winery (and Torres Priorat) are the winemakers with whom we arranged visits and had our conversations. Each and every visit and conversation was truly memorable. The hospitality was exceptional and the conversations thoughtful and informative.
