Cava Vintage: 2015 Variety: 50% Macabeo and 50% Xarel.lo Alcohol content: 12% vol. Aging: Minimum aging of 42 months in their underground cellars Tasting notes: Appearance: bright golden color with amber highlights. Very fine and persistent bubbles that rise with delicate effervescence to form a perfect crown. Nose: elegant, clean, fruity, citrusy, with a hint of fresh almonds characteristic of traditional cavas. A symphony of subtle but perfectly identifiable aromas. Palate: pleasant and generous bouquet, beautiful and refined. Full-bodied and creamy, with a taste of fresh fruit and freshly baked brioche. A lively cava where the silky sensation combines with a perfect level of acidity. Served in wide and deep chalice glasses, like those used for tasting Chardonnays, it reveals the complexity of its aromas. Serving temperature: 8º C Geology and Soil: Gran Vintage Brut Gran Reserva comes exclusively from two plots: La Anciana and La Secreta. Their old vines provide more terroir and complexity; balance and experience. The vines in these vineyards are cultivated in the old-fashioned way and pruned in the goblet form as tradition dictates. The average yield they offer is 5,500 kg/ha, well below the 12,000 kg/ha authorized by the D.O. Cava. The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo careful selection in all Pere Ventura cavas, with viticulture scrupulously respecting sustainability parameters and environmental respect. Gran Vinatage Brut Gran Reserva is a limited edition cava that is only produced when the vintages are exceptional. Pairing: E. Made in Spain Gourmet operates under the premise that it can be enjoyed at any time, in any moment, always. Alone or accompanying the unique moments of your life. Its complex and subtle balance makes it an exquisite companion to the most delicate and refined cuisine. Especially recommended with scallops, seafood, foie mi-cuit, 100% acorn-fed ham, and almost anything else you can think of. Production: Manual harvest and selection of grapes; each variety is vinified separately. Whole grape pressing in a pneumatic press at a maximum pressure of 0.5 bar. Fractionation of the free-run juice by 50% followed by static settling for between 24 and 48 hours. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeast at a fermentation temperature of 15ºC. Careful blending of the two varieties. Clarification is peaceful; with tartaric stabilization and final filtering. The second fermentation is done in the bottle itself according to the traditional method of champagne and cava.
