Cava Vintage: 2016 Variety: 60% Xarel.lo and 40% Chardonnay Alcohol content: 12% vol. Aging: Minimum aging of 43 months in their underground cellars Tasting notes: Visual: It presents a bright golden color with golden amber reflections. The bubble is very fine and evolves slowly and persistently, indicative of the long aging and perfect integration of the bubble. Nose: It stands out for its aromatic elegance; clean, fruity, citrusy, with hints of almond and walnuts. Palate: It highlights its freshness, vinous character, and elegance; with a rich and generous bouquet, delicate, and with very good acidity. It is creamy and broad; it gives off notes of fresh fruit, lemon cream, pear in syrup, egg yolk, maple syrup, and pastries. It is velvety and very well structured. Served in wide and deep goblets, like those used for tasting chardonnays, it unfolds all the complexity of its aromas. Service temperature: between 7 and 9 ºC Geology and Soil: Grand 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 goblet form as tradition dictates. The average yield they offer is 5,500kg/ha, well below the 12,000 kg/ha authorized by the D.O. Cava. The grapes are harvested by hand and undergo a careful selection in all Pere Ventura cavas. Viticulture scrupulously respects sustainability parameters and environmental respect. Grand Vinatage Brut Gran Reserva is a limited edition cava that is only produced when the vintages are exceptional. Pairing: It can be enjoyed at any time, at any moment, always. Alone or accompanying the unique moments of your life. VINTAGE is a gastronomic cava. It enhances the flavor of raw shellfish and fish. It pairs well with oysters, lobster, sushi, sashimi, and Spanish products such as 100% pure acorn-fed ham. It is opulent with fish or white meat stews with exotic flavors. Highly recommended to accompany rice dishes or pasta dishes prepared with truffle. Ideal with Foie Gras mi-cuit. Production: Each variety is vinified separately. A pneumatic press is used at a maximum pressure of 0.5 bar. Fractionation of the must in bloom at 52% followed by static settling for between 24 and 48 hours. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts at a controlled temperature of 15°C. After the vinification process, the blending of the two varieties and a peaceful clarification are carried out; tartaric stabilization and final filtering of the base wine. Proceeds to the second fermentation and aging in the bottle following the Traditional Method. PERE VENTURA VINTAGE GRAN RESERVA BRUT is a contemporary classic: a cava with an international profile with the attributes of long aging made following the Traditional Method and as Brut type. It is a vintage cava that stands out for its elegance, complexity, and marked character on the palate. The Chardonnay, blended with the Xarel·lo, makes a difference in the tasting, providing creaminess and breadth on the palate. VINTAGE is a gastronomic cava, deep and delicate; fresh and with a balanced aromatic and gustatory expression.
