COUPAGE
(55%) Macabeo, (40%) Xarel lo and (5%) Parellada. Harvested manually in our own vineyards with calcareous-clay soils. Our emblematic cava is the result of careful quality control throughout the production process, prioritising respect for natural processes. The different phases, such as fermentation, foaming and ageing, are very important to obtain the organoleptic characteristics that define our identity. It undergoes a minimum ageing period of 28 months, in order to obtain aromatic complexity and structure, as well as a fine and creamy bubble, all followed by artisanal disgorging to avoid thermal contrast and thus preserve the cava’s aromas as much as possible.
Underwater maturation for 9 months at a depth of 24 metres on the Alicante coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
Tasting
On the nose: a great main aroma of stone fruits such as peach, complemented by white flowers. Subtle aromas of honey and an intense aroma of brioche and pastries, which are enhanced by the underwater maturation that highlights any nuances contributed by the yeast.
On the palate: it has great finesse. Fresh and harmonious structure, its smoothness and its fine bubbles added to a perfectly integrated acidity are reminiscent of sparkling wines that have been aged for much longer. A very balanced finish and a very pleasant aftertaste, again marked by the underwater maturation and the natural yeasts of the second fermentation.
Features
Type of wine: Sparkling. Blend of (55%) Macabeo, (40%) Xarel lo and (5%) Parellada from La Granada del Penedés (Barcelona).
Vintages: The most recent available batch is served.
Recommended serving temperature: between 6 and 8ºC.
Gastronomy: Perfect with complex dishes and meats. It is also excellent for tasting smoked meats or Iberian ham accompanied by bread with tomato. And to finish off this recommendation, desserts are a must; the aromas of long aging pair extraordinarily well with nuts and desserts that have lighter sweet flavours.
The only winery in the world that has formulated a fully standardized oenological project based on underwater maturation.
Our wines go through a process called “underwater maturation,” which has been standardized by us and registered along with all the elements that characterize it. Today, our process is completely confidential, and the only thing we can reveal is that no one else does anything like it.
