Beautiful lemon yellow colour. Spicy but fine pearl. The nose is well defined with tantalising impressions of exotic fruit such as peach, honeysuckle, toast and a hint of almond. The taste is dry but mild and creamy. Deliciously long and flavoursome finish that further challenges the pallet and activates the salivary glands. PALMARES: Gold Mundus Vini
Delicious tasting aperitif. Because only Xarel-lo is used, it is less acidic than most Cava's (but still dry) with a rich and tasteful character so that it can also be used in the kitchen.
- climate
-
A temperate Mediterranean climate with highs of 27.8ºC and lows of 2.6ºC. The annual average is 14.4ºC. Precipitation is between 500 and 600mm per year and there is average 2,548 hours sunshine per year. The Penedès has 3 levels of altitude (0-250m, 250-500m and 500-800m), each of which is influenced by the climate.
- soil
-
The soil is rich in clay and limestone. Here, too, the altitude plays a role. The lower the more sand and lime, the higher the more clay.
- vinification
