Dominio De La Vega Cava No.29 Cava Reserva Authentique Superior Brut Nature 2021
Grape Varietals & Region: A blend of Macabeo & Xarel-Lo from the Utiel-Requena sub-region of Valencia, Spain. Both the Macabeo vineyards of La Vega & Xarel-lo vineyards of La Loma are planted on clay-limestone soils
Taste Profile: Pale yellow colour and a very fine bubble. Harmony of fresh, floral and citrus fruits aroma. A touch of salinity in taste with a reminiscence of the ageing on lees in the aftertaste. Fresh in the palate, well-built, with a very integrated fizz that strengthens its freshness with a creamy nice finish.
Winemaking Process: Selection of plots according to freshness (acidity) and aromatic potential corresponding to the target product. The varieties and plots are vinified separately and are cooled down at a low temperature before being drained (just free-run). Decanting and cleaning through cold temperature with no use of clarifying agents. Controlled fermentation of a minimum of two weeks until the base wine is obtained.
After deciding the coupage of the different varieties and plots, the bottling takes place during the first months of the year. A second fermentation and ageing takes of a minimum of 18 months is driven in our cellar at a low and constant temperature.
