Winemaking

Cava made from organic grapes in a singular bottle to emphasize the differential feature represented by an international blend, giving it structure, aroma and stronger flavors. During the harvest, which is carried out manually, the best grapes for the making of cava are selected. The extraction of the first pressing must is conducted through very light pressure, to avoid the transfer of the color from the Pinot Noir grape. The fermentation is carried out in a controlled temperature of 15ºC, each variety in separate vats. Made through the traditional method, this cava has been aged on its lees for a minimum of 30 months and is released on the market just after being disgorged.

Nose – White fruit aromas with a floral aftertaste, notes of red fruit and almond.
