Cava Opus Paraje Calificado Vallcirera (Guarda Superior)
DO Cava · Brut Nature

Crafted from organically grown Pansa Blanca and Chardonnay grapes from the Vallcirera Paraje, a unique site with distinctive soil and microclimatic conditions. The Paraje Vallcirera is located in the Serralada de Marina Natural Park, between the towns of Alella and Tiana, just 1.5 km from the Mediterranean Sea and 12 km from Barcelona. The vines grow in Sauló soil – an acidic, granitic sandy soil with low limestone content, little organic matter, and excellent natural drainage. The grapes come from two plots planted in 1992 at 140 meters above sea level, with yields below 6,000 kg/ha. Made following the traditional method, this cava is aged for a minimum of 64 months on the lees. Each bottle is hand-disgorged and released with the disgorgement date and precise ageing months stated.

“Cava without concessions, greatest representation of the terroir’s characteristics and vintage”

The highest quality selection of the best organic grapes from the Paraje Calificado Vallcirera. A Grand Vin philosophy, produced only in exceptional vintage years. The quintessence of our cava range, with flavours marked by minerality, creaminess, and an extraordinary aromatic complexity. Integrated effervescence with a long and persistent aftertaste.

WINE TASTING NOTES
  • Sight – Intense yellow colour with golden hues.
  • Nose – Intense aromas of flower and ripe fruit, recuperating the toasted characteristics of the fermentation and the ageing in barrel.
  • Palate – Flavours marked by minerality and creaminess, recalling the aromas of ripe fruit and toast. Cava with well -marked acidity and extraordinary aromatic complexity. Integrated effervescence and long and persistent aftertaste.

VINTAGE 2019: Ideal weather conditions during the vegetative cycle in Alta Alella’s vineyards allowed an extraordinary plant development. The intense heat at the end of July caused a positive stop on the vines’ growth with no water stress thanks to the reserves from the spring rains. During the summer, well-dosed precipitations combined with lower temperatures than previous years, allowed an optimum grape ripening. All in all, it has been a vintage with balanced yields, exceptional healthy grapes and maximum quality.

“Tasted blind. Remarkably powerful, lots of aromas and flavours. The oak is perfectly integrated. On the nose, it has some toasty note that I don’t find on the palate. Dry style, I like the mellow texture and the finesse of the mousse. Quite ample with brioche and creamy aftertaste. Very complete and delightful wine. A great vintage!”
