Color of pale yellowish with green tints. small and steady stream of bubbles. Aroma of dried and ripe fruits with floral hints and a sense of the wine´s ageing on its lees. On the palate it is fresh and dry with a well-equilibrated acidity in which the fizz is fully integrated. Vineyard selection of the variety Macabeo is based on the grape production of high acidity and a medium level of sugar. Maceration is carried out at 12ºC for approximately 8 hours; this is to achieve high extraction of the aromas that are to be found in the skins of the grapes. The grapes then undergo pneumatic, oxygen-free pressing (preventing oxidation of the juice) a yield of free-run juice“mosto flor” of approximately 60% is obtained. It is subjected to fermentation at 16ºC. After bottling, in the months of January and February, the Cava undergoes a secondary fermentation and an ageing process of on its lees from 12 to 14 months in bottle.

Keep the serving temperature at around 6-8ºC. Due to rich of inner pressure open the bottle with care, once you tried a few bottles may be you experienced & can offer uncork this bottle with tiny fizz sound or as noise as firing a cannon.

Our cava offer gentle acidity, giving a clean, crisp feel in the mouth. They are ideal for sweeping away clinging fattiness and preparing the palate for another bite of food. Floral, citrus, and mineral notes are very refreshing and work to complement, not overpower, the flavors of the food. Pair well with spicier foods since the heat of the alcohol does not amplify the heat of the spice. And the bubbles in cava serve to reawaken the taste buds while adding texture to the overall dining experience!

Cava is food paring friendly, from Smoked dishes to sweet/sour dishes, steam fish with great Chinese Soya sauce to deep fried Tempura.

MacabeoMacabeo (Viura) was introduced in Rioja, Spain after the phylloxera epidemic, now is widely grown in the Rioja of Spain and less than one tenth of Spanish total plantations in France. Responded well to hot and dry regions. It also buds late, which makes it less likely to be harmed by frost. This grape usually contributes to young white wines suitable for early consumption. It has good ability of its wines to better withstand oxidation. Macabeo is traditionally one of a key blended element to make a sparkling Cava, the best-known sparkling wine of Spain. This Cava is dry, medium in acidity, and have notes of delicate wildflowers and bitter almonds.

Clay & ChalkyClay is a sedimentary rock (rich of mineral and organic particles) based soil that has good water retention ability but poor drainage. The soil is often very cool and high in acidity Chalky soil is soft limestone soil that allows vine roots can easily penetrate. It provides good drainage and works best for grapes with high acidity levels. Clay& Chalky is a good mixed soil for vine.
