Grapes 30% Xarel.lo, 30% Paralleda, 30% Macabeo, 10% Chardonnay

THE HARVEST
It starts at the end of August and extends till the end of October. It is usually carried out manually and the grapes are transported to the winery in boxes containing 25-30 kgs or in small stainless steel trailers when the vineyard is close to the winery.

VINIFICATION
Grapes are harvested at night to avoid high temperatures and premature fermentations. They are quickly transported to the winery and refrigerated at 10ºC to avoid the color of the skins dyeing the must. Once the must is pressed and each variety has fermented separately at a constant 16ºC to preserve its primary aromas, the must is blended and bottled along with the base wine, to which the yeast and sugar are added to produce the formation of bubbles. For the second fermentation, the bottles are kept in underground cellars at a constant 15º-17ºC where they are in contact with their lees.

AGEING
This cava spends a minimum of 12 months in the bottle,. After this period, sediments are decanted naturally and removed and liqueur is added.

TASTING NOTES
Colour: Brilliant green and gold color. Elegant with fine bubbles.
Nose: Good intensity with fruit aromas and toasted nuances.
Palate: Fresh, warm, pleasant and round, with a long finish.
Food Matches: This sparkling wine is perfect as an aperitif as well as an accompaniment for salads, rice and light fish dishes.

Alcohol 11.5 %
