GRANDALLA GRAN RESERVA

Brut

Type: Brut .CCPAE Ecological Certification
Varieties: 40% Xarel·lo, 10% Parellada, 30% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir
Harvest year: 2020
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

Pale yellow with greenish reflections, this cava presents itself with luminous elegance and a rosary of fine, persistent, almost hypnotic bubbles. On the nose it unfolds with a floral delicacy: evocations of flowering elderberry, jasmine and daffodils transport us to spring alpine meadows. There are also subtle notes of ripe white fruit, citrus peel and a slightly toasted background reminiscent of freshly baked brioche.

On the palate, the entry is dry and silky, with a firm structure that reveals the nobility of its long aging. The bubbles caress the palate with finesse and are integrated into a harmonious whole, where floral nuances coexist with memories of candied fruit, fresh almond and a mineral hint that extends the journey.

The finish is long, fresh and evocative, with echoes of high mountains and a whisper of wild flowers that delicately persist. A cava of great complexity and personality, which authentically expresses the natural elegance of our land and the know-how of artisanal production.

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 best enjoyment, serve between 5 and 8 °C, adjusting the temperature depending on the season and personal preference. Chill gradually (never in the freezer) and keep in an ice bucket with water and ice while serving.

Gastronomy

It is excellent as an aperitif, but also harmoniously accompanies a wide range of dishes.
It is especially suitable with fine seafood, such as oysters, razor clams or cockles, as well as with white fish or tuna tartare, where its acidity brings cleanliness and elegance.

One of its most surprising pairings is with artichokes, a classically difficult ingredient for wine, but which finds in this cava a fresh and floral counterpoint that balances its natural bitterness.
It also works very well with green salads with aromatic herbs, dishes with fennel, celery or light, summer vegetable cuisine.

With soft and fresh cheeses such as mató, neu del Cadí or a good artisan goat cheese, Grandalla 2019 enhances the flavors without dominating them.

It is also a great choice for white meats—such as free-range chicken, rabbit, or turkey—especially if prepared with citrus fruits, white wine, or fine herbs.

Special

Tin label: a tribute to craftsmanship and uniqueness
Each bottle is adorned with a tin label, applied manually, which turns each cava into a small work of art. This detail symbolizes our philosophy: to pay homage to time, to work done by hand and to the beauty of the unrepeatable.
The singular shape of the bottle already makes it unique at first glance, and it is even more so because the entire process—from the desks to disgorging and labeling—is carried out manually in our winery.
Each bottle is delivered in its individual case, as a piece of authentic craftsmanship deserves.
