Region: Spain, Rioja

Grape variety: Garnacha Tinta

Winemaking process: Harvested by hand and transported to the winery in refrigerated trailers in 200-kilo boxes. Pressed directly and the base wine then ferments in small vats with the temperature controlled to 14/15ºC to preserve the garnacha’s aromatic potency. After the completion of alcoholic fermentation, it remains on its lees for 4 months in order to give the mouthfeel greater body and volume as is so necessary in fine quality sparkling wines. After the addition of tirage liqueur, it ferments for a second time inside the bottle for 4 months at 12ºC. It remains for a minimum of 36 months stored horizontally in racks before disgorgement, always kept at a low temperature to maintain the maximum freshness and wealth of aromas.

Tasting notes: Bright, pale salmon-pink colour. This cava displays a chain of fine bubbles. A medium-high, complex aromatic intensity, with aromas of exotic fruit, citrus notes of grapefruit. Medium-high aromatic intensity, fairly complex with a combination of aromas of fresh strawberry jam, strawberry yoghourt and citrus notes of grapefruit bringing a touch of freshness, with even hints of baker’s shop aromas coming through. A very pleasant attack with medium-high acidity and great length and complexity. In the aftertaste we can again find the rich range of aromas, particularly aromas of red berries.
