Ars Collecta Blanc de Blancs 2019 75 cl.

PREPARATION

Grapes: 85% Chardonnay, 15% Xarel lo and Parellada.   Ars Collecta Blanc de Blancs is a cava made from the selection of vineyards where the varietals show their greatest potential and expressiveness. Chardonnay, the predominant varietal, from Costers del Segre with a continental climate, Xarel·lo from the central plain of Penedès and Parellada from high altitude vineyards in Pla de Manlleu, both areas with a Mediterranean climate. Night harvest at the beginning of August, taking advantage of the cool temperature and avoiding oxidation of the grape aromas. Upon arrival, it was gently pressed in a pneumatic press and the must was fermented in small batches at 17°C; A small percentage of the must is vinified in a French foudre, ennobling the blend. After aging for 35 months at a constant temperature between the thick walls of our cellars, this Blanc de Blancs Gran Reserva has a long life ahead of it. The entire process we follow to make this cava aims to respect what the earth gives us and achieve a fresh cava with high aging potential.

TASTING

View: Warm yellow color with golden reflections, clean and bright. Fine bubbles that form continuous rosaries and a persistent crown that indicates good fermentation in the bottle.   Nose: On the nose, soft toasted notes appear, interspersed with stone fruits: peaches and nectarines, on a background of brioche and nuts from the long aging on lees. Very complex, with elegant notes and an aromatic breadth that improves with time in the glass.   Mouth: The palate is broad, complex, balanced and creamy.   Consume cold (between 8º-11ºC).

Grapes: 85% Chardonnay, 15% Xarel·lo and Parellada.
