Despite the fact that Penedès is now known for its white wines, this wasn't always the case. Prior to the phylloxera pandemic of the 19th century, red grapes were predominately grown. After the epidemic, the region's wine production switched from red to white grapes as it recovered. Today, Penedès vineyards produce 90% white grapes and 10% red grapes. #penedes #whitewine #funfactsspain #grapevariety #winefacts #redwine
