The Gentleman of Our Cavas

Elegance at its finest. Montaner 2018 is the most classic cava you can imagine, the true gentleman of our collection. From one of the best recent vintages, this Gran Reserva embodies sophistication and refinement.

It boasts an exquisite effervescence, with the finest bubbles forming a perfectly integrated stream and a graceful pale golden hue. On the nose, it reveals remarkable complexity, with hints of yeast, peach, and ripe tropical fruits such as pineapple, complemented by a delicate citrus touch that enhances its freshness.

On the palate, it is dry and crisp, yet carries the depth and amplitude expected from a vintage Gran Reserva. Its exceptional balance between structure and vibrancy leads to a long, persistent finish, leaving a lasting impression.

We are the only ones who include a thermometer on the back label, so you always know when your cava is at the perfect temperature. When the thermometer turns blue, it’s the ideal moment to enjoy it to the fullest. As simple as that, as precise as ever!

Montaner 2018 is more than a cava—it is a statement of class and distinction.

Aging

Minimum 48 months in rime in contact with the yeasts.

Fermentation

The second fermentation takes place slowly and at low temperature in the same bottle, for a period of 2 to 3 months. This slow and time-respecting process is essential to achieve the elegance and complexity that define our cavas. In our winery, there is no rush: we let each bottle evolve at its own pace, because only in this way can we capture the finesse of the well-integrated bubbles and the aromatic richness that only time gives.

Wine tasting

In the glass, it shows a straw yellow color with greenish highlights, clean and bright, with a fine, persistent bead, reflecting its extended ageing on lees.

On the nose, it is discreet yet deep, with perfect harmony between autolytic notes (toasted bread, hazelnut, marzipan) and ripe fruit: golden apple, candied pear, citrus peel and dried flowers. A touch of minerality adds finesse and clarity.

On the palate, it is dry, broad and upright, with a structure sculpted by time and a creamy texture that retains freshness. Flavors of brioche, toasted nuts and citrus emerge gracefully, supported by a lively, well-integrated acidity. The finish is long, clean and persistent.

Conservation and consumption recommendations

Store the cava in a cool (10–15 °C), dry place away from direct light. Bottles should be kept in an upright position, especially after disgorgement, to avoid prolonged contact between the wine and the cork.

For optimal expression of the product, serve between 5 and 8°C, adapting the temperature according to the time of year and personal preferences. It is recommended to cool it gradually (never in the freezer) and use an ice cube tray with water and ice during service.

Gastronomy

Ideal with pan con tomate and Iberian ham, marinated anchovies or salt-cured anchovies from l’Escala, or with a wild mushroom and vegetable rice, where its bright acidity lifts the dish beautifully.

It pairs effortlessly with herb-roasted chicken, tender rabbit in soft garlic oil or cold veal with capers and lemon mayo — soulful, traditional recipes.

With cheese, it shines with aged goat cheeses, Garrotxa or mature sheep’s milk cheeses, bringing purity and contrast.

Also perfect for simple tapas like homemade croquettes, grilled baby squid, cod fritters or fried eggs with potatoes.
