Winemaking

Organic grapes harvested manually in small boxes, looking for the optimum moment of ripeness for each varieties, with the aim of achieving a base wine with good freshness suitable for noble ageing. Vinified on the estate with strict white winemaking. The grapes are lightly pressed to only extract the first pressing must, and then the fermentation is done in separated 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 with the disgorgement date stated on its label.

Tasting Notes

Sight – Fine bubble and pale yellow with green hues.

Nose – White fruit aromas with delicate citrus and green almond notes.

Palate – On the palate, light and fresh: real expression of the white fruit aromas. Given its ageing over the lies, we can perceive notes of pastry, bubbles well integrated and a delicate aftertaste.
