The aim of this cava is to achieve the maximum expression of the
refinement and elegance endowed by the three traditional grape varieties,
with more influence from ageing to attain a complex cava with greater
structure and creaminess. From the very first vintage in 1988 it
has been made without any additional sugar.
Varieties: 30% Macabeu, 40% Xarel·lo and 30% Parellada
Winemaking process: Bottled in January 2001. Fermented at
15ºC for four weeks. Average bottle ageing period of 30-42
months. Manual riddling. No dosage is added after the disgorging
process.
Tasting notes: Brilliant pale yellow colour. Good carbonic
strength with small bubbles. Elegant and persistent crown. Clean,
candid aroma dominated by ageing aromas (bread, patisserie, butter,
syrup). Fruity notes are also evident, with a ripe nature (apple,
apricot, quince), as well as aromatic herbs (fennel). In the mouth
it is oily, fleshy, mouth-filling, well balanced and fresh; good
carbonic integration with a long and persistent end.
Serving temperature: 5-7ºC.
