Varieties: 57% Xarel.lo, 23% Macabeo and 20% Parellada from our organic vines in Can Martí estate.
Production: Once all the grapes have passed over the sorting table, we press each variety separately, softly, making use of just the first pressing, the “mosto flor” (free run juice). We have incorporated Inertys technology into our presses, which protects the must from oxidations during the grape-pressing phase. Wine matured in 225 litres Allier oak barrel. Second fermentation in bottle.
Aging: More than 48 months on the lees. Every year we do the poignettage (agitation of the bottle), which makes the yeasts mix again with the wine. Due to that, the sparkling wine is being enriched in aromas and flavors. Manual clarification in pupitres. Disgorging without sugar addition.
Tasting note: New gold yellow color, clean and transparent, with fine bubble that forms constant rosary.
On the nose, pleasant aromas reminiscent of fresh flowers, honey flower and rosemary. Kind dairy notes, reminiscent of English cream and caramelized briocherie. Light toasted notes that, as a whole, provide a good structure. Complex sparkling wine, with many nuances, with a very pleasant bubble sensation in the mouth. Balanced complexity, between aging and freshness, that makes it long and light. Notes of fine briocherie, subtle toasted and fruits.
