Gran Reserva Ferret Brut Nature
Alcohol: 11,5º
Serving Temperature: 6º-8º
Origin: Made from the three indigenous grape varieties used in the traditional Cava blend: Parellada 42%, Xarel.lo 33% and Macabeo 25%. Parellada, recognised as the finer of the three is grown on the upper slopes whereas Xarel.lo and Macabeo are usually found on the lower levels. All are hand picked from the best suited vineyard sites in Alt Penedès.
Process: After blending, selected yeasts are added and the wine is bottled and sent 15m below ground to our cellers. At a constant temperature of 14º it is aged for 36 months, during which time a slow second fermentation takes place. Finally when the cava is ready the lees are removed through the process of "degüelle". This Dry Brut Naturé Gran Reserve does not contain any sweetening liqueur. Its unique bouquet is achieved purely through the blend and the ageing period in bottles.
Appearance: Straw yellow, with an abundance of fine bubbles forming a persistent attractive crown on the rim.
Nose: Quite intense nose of mature exotic fruits with a toasted buttery overtone.
Palate: Dry, with crisp acidity. Smooth, full and lively with a good presence of fine bubbles. Good fruit intensity with a delicate hint of toasted almonds on the length.
