Cava Brut Reserva 2019

Case of 12 bottles.

Made from a blend of 45% Macabeo, 25% Xarel-lo, and 30% Parellada grapes, hand-picked from ~35 year old certified organic vineyards in the area of Vall d'Anoia-Foix (Comtats de Barcelona). 

Each variety is vinified separately (for ~28 days), using indigenous yeasts. Second fermentation took place in the bottle, in underground cellars with constant temperature of 17 celsius, with a minimum of 36 months aging on the lees. Bottles are disgorged individually, and only when required for market (2 -3 weeks supply and the date noted on the back label) to ensure optimum condition of the finished wine. 

Bottled (Brut) with 6.0g/L residual sugar. Alcohol 11.5%/vol. 

Certified organic and vegan. Also now Cava de Guarda Superior Riserva, according to the new DO Cava Regulations. 

About the 2019 Vintage: It was a year marked with average rainfall which resulted in slower maturation and higher acidity. 

Our Tasting Note: Pale straw colour, with very fine bubbles that evolve slowly in the glass. Aromas and flavours of green apple,  citrus (tangerine), stone fruits (peach and nectarine), and subtle leesy notes. Balanced (sugar-acidity) and rich, with a smooth and elegant finish.  

Pairing Suggestions: Delightful on its own, it will accompany appetizers, salads, Sushi, first courses of white meats, seafood, or fish, and fruit desserts.
