Production Method

• Raw materials: Traditional Cava grape varieties (primarily Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada) harvested from select vineyards in Penedès, Catalonia.
• Distillation process: Produced using the traditional method (méthode champenoise) with secondary fermentation taking place in the bottle.
• Maturation: Aged on lees for a minimum of 30 months as required for Gran Reserva classification, allowing development of complex flavors and fine, persistent bubbles.
• Special techniques: Zero dosage (Brut Nature) style with no added sugar after disgorgement, preserving the wine’s natural character and authentic expression of the vintage.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Refined aromas of green apple, toasted brioche, and citrus zest, complemented by subtle notes of white flowers and distinctive mineral undertones.
• Palate: Crisp and precise with vibrant acidity, revealing layers of ripe pear, lemon curd, and almond. The extended aging contributes notes of freshly baked bread and delicate yeasty complexity.
• Finish: Long, elegant, and exceptionally dry, with persistent mineral notes, a touch of salinity, and a refined chalky texture that lingers impressively.

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: 7-9°C (45-48°F) to preserve freshness while allowing aromatic complexity to develop.
• Glass recommendation: Traditional tulip-shaped champagne flute or white wine glass with enough volume to appreciate the aromatic development.
