About

Cava Brut, white sparkling wine, organic certified

Grape varieties: 80% Macabeo and 20% Chardonnay

Appellation: DOP Cava

Altitude: 750 m

Soil: clay-limestone

11.5% vol.

Winemaking: traditional method (the same as used to make Champagne).

First fermentation, then second (in bottle) at low temperature.

Aging in the bottle horizontally for a minimum of 9 months.

To respect the original taste and aromas of this Cava, we have added the same base wine to the expedition liqueur after disgorgement.

The Macabeo (also known as Viura) adds sweetness and fragrance; the Chardonnay, structure and elegance.

Tasting notes: brilliant, pale yellow colour with greenish iridescence, with a fine, persistent bubble. The aroma is intense and fruity (pears, apples) with hints of lime and white flowers. On the palate, it stands out for its freshness, well-balanced acidity and long, refined floral finish.
