Winemaking

The bottles are kept in the cave at least 30 months at a temperature between 12ºC and 16ºC. The contact of the base wine with the yeast during this time gives the cava a unique personality and the category of Gran Reserva.
Once the cava is free of the yeast responsible for the second fermentation, we add expedition liqueur. For the range PANOT, we use a expedition liqueur made basically from a coupage of wines aged in Allier oak barrels. Finally, the bottle is closed with a natural cork.

Tasting Note

Color: Straw yellow with golden reflex, thin and persistent bubbles, with slow evolution.
Nose: Well-structured and elegant. Bottle aging aromas predominate combined with toasted nuances (almonds, toast bred), reminds of sponge cake with a citric notes (grapefruit)
Mouth: Broad, well-balanced, creamy and a nice entry with bottle aging notes. Clean and long-lasting after-taste, with toasted notes and light citric nuances.

Pairing
