Cava Opus Paraje Calificado Vallcirera
DO Cava · Brut Nature

Crafted from organically grown Chardonnay and Pansa Blanca 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 50 months on the lees. Each bottle is hand-disgorged and released with the disgorgement date and precise ageing months stated.

WINE TASTING NOTES

Sight – Bright golden color.
Nose – Flower and ripe white fruit aromas with nuts notes, marked by the minerality and salinity characteristics of the area.
Palate – Balanced and structured, recalling the aromas of ripe fruit and nuts. Well-marked acidity which is well integrated with flavours from the aging. The bubbles are fine and persistent. Very tasty and lingering aftertaste.

VINTAGE 2020:

A very rainy spring caused a great vegetative growth with the consequent problems of fungal attacks (mildew) on the grapes, causing an exceptional limited production in our area. Also noteworthy are the losses of grapes caused by wild boars during the pandemic (Covid-19). Low-yields vineyards combined with the intense heat of August have produced a very fast grape ripening, becoming the earliest harvest in the last few years. A vintage with reduced harvest and good quality.
