It is delicious, unpretentious sparkling wine you can drink every day! The wine is a blend of the three traid60% macabeo, 25% xarel-lo, and 15% parellada from organically-farmed estate vines planted from 1945 to 2017 at Can Fontanals from 250m to 275m elevation.
Vintage – The winter and spring of 2018 were exceptionally dry, with some rain at the end of August and the beginning of September, which brought freshness to the wines. Yields were down significantly due to frost. 2018 was a smaller but healthy harvest, with excellent quality grapes. These conditions resulted in wines with harmonious structure.
Vinification – After a night-time grape harvest to avoid oxidation and for optimal temperature, the grapes are pressed very gently in a pneumatic press. The base wine then ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel between 14°C and 16°C. After cold stabilization, the wine begins its secondary fermentation in bottle with the addition of yeasts and sugar in March. It is then aged 18 months to 24 months on the lees before being disgorged on demand. Unfiltered.
