SWEET CAVA

Brut Nature - Organic farming

Type: Sweet

Varieties: Xarel.lo 40%, Macabeu 10%, Chardonnay 20%, Parellada 10%, Pinot Noir 20%

Harvest year: 2021

Aging: Minimum 23 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

The appearance is golden yellow with reflections of young amber, bright and seductive. The bubbles are fine and slow, integrated with elegance.

On the nose, it unfolds with great aromatic depth: candied fruit, bitter orange, dried apricots, rosemary honey, dried flowers, sweet spices and a subtle hint of quince and brioche. It is an opulent but precise nose, with a background of dried fruits and a slightly botrytized touch, reminiscent of noble rot wines.

In the mouth it is dense, unctuous and persistent, with a marked but clean sweetness, supported by a natural acidity that maintains balance. The flavors of prune, baked figs, creamy caramel, caramelized almonds and marzipan are interspersed with a salty touch that refreshes the whole.

The finish is very long, broad and memorable, with a texture that evokes liqueur wines, but with the subtle lightness of sparkling wine.

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

It is a refined and unique alternative to traditional sweet wines such as Muscat or Sauternes, offering a lighter texture but equally rich in nuances.

Ideal with apple or pear tarts, tatins, almond or pine nut cakes, butter cookies, nougat and wafers, or with white chocolate, cream cakes or marzipan.

It also surprises with foie gras with fruit, blue or washed cheeses such as sweet Gorgonzola or Tou dels Til·lers, and with Arabic or Indian cuisine with sweet spices, saffron or nuts.
