Parellada: White-wine grape mainly grown in the Catalunya region of Spain. Suited to cool climates it produces low yields that contribute to making good balanced sparkling wines (ie: cavas) capable of some ageing. Also widely planted in the Penedés region where conditions of high production make for mediocre wines only suitable for blending. The variety is very resistant to fungus diseases.
