MERAVELLOUS

Brut Nature - Organic farming

Type: Brut Nature – CCPAE Ecological Certification
Varieties: 30% Xarel·lo, 30% Parellada, 30% Macabeu, 10% Chardonnay
Harvest year: 2018
Aging: Minimum 36 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 appearance it is presented with a soft golden yellow with greenish reflections, and a very fine and persistent bubble that speaks of time and precision.

The nose is intensely fruity and floral, with notes of fresh apple, vine peach and pineapple at its peak, combined with ripe citrus, a touch of dried banana and white flowers. Subtle hints of bread crust and nuts also appear, which the aging adds with delicacy.

On the palate it is dry and vibrant, with a defined acidity that sets the pace and provides nerve, and a creamy and enveloping texture that enhances the sensations. The flavors of tropical fruit, candied citrus and fine pastries merge with a silky, long and mineral finish, which cleanses and invites you to continue.

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 grilled crayfish with extra virgin oil and a few drops of lemon, where the natural sweetness of the seafood is combined with the lively acidity of the cava. It is also perfect with grilled razor clams, steamed clams or red prawn carpaccio, dishes that share with the Meravellous a pure and sincere marine essence.

Combine with low-temperature eggs with white truffle, scallops with celery-turnip cream, or white asparagus with soft béarnaise, pairings that demand a sparkling wine of great precision and structure.

With soft cheeses with a moldy rind (such as Brie de Melun or Tou de Til·lers) it finds a dialogue between lactic freshness and saline depth.

It can also elegantly accompany slow-cooked or baked white fish, such as turbot with a mild fennel sauce, or hake en papillote with candied lemon.

And for the daring, it is sublime with haute cuisine vegetable dishes, such as pumpkin ravioli with sage butter, or almond cream with basil oil and fleur de sel.
