Description
Winemaking
The harvest is carried out at night to avoid high temperatures and premature fermentation. The grapes are quickly transported to the winery and cooled to 10 °C to prevent the skins’ color from staining the must. Once the must is obtained by crushing and each variety has fermented separately at a constant temperature of 16 °C to preserve their primary aromas, the musts are blended and bottled along with the base wine. Yeast and sugar are then added to stimulate the formation of bubbles. For the second fermentation, the bottles are stored in underground cellars at a constant temperature of between 15 and 17 °C, where the wine remains in contact with the lees.
This cava spends a minimum of 12 months in the bottle to achieve the Cava de Guarda classification. After this period, the sediments naturally settle and are removed, after which the expedition liqueur is added.
Tasting notes
Color: Bright green and golden. Elegant, with fine bubbles.
Nose: Good intensity with fruity aromas and toasted nuances.
Palate: Fresh, warm, with a soft yet vibrant fruity tone and a long, rounded finish.
Food pairing
This sparkling wine is perfect as an aperitif. It also pairs well with tapas, salads, risotto, and cheeses (especially sheep’s milk), as well as light fish and seafood dishes. Even with artichokes and asparagus, which are notoriously difficult to match.
