Vegalfaro Cava Gran Reserva is a blend of grapes from the Macabeo vineyards next to the winery and old Chardonnay grown on our Los Balagueses estate, which is fermented in new, untoasted barrels. It is located 70 kilometres from the Mediterranean, in an ideal location for vines due to the diversity of its soils and orientations, as well as its elevation of up to 900 metres above sea level.

VINEYARDS
Located at an altitude of 680 metres in the Vega del Río Magro, its clay soils feature sandstone, gravel and pebbles. The Chardonnay and Macabeo are planted on trellises right next to the winery.

ELABORATION
The grape varieties are vinified separately, depending on the optimum degree of ripeness to make cava, to be destemmed and pressed directly, obtaining the free-run juice, which once clarified by applying cold, proceeds to fermentation in stainless steel tanks, at temperatures between 14º-16º for approximately 25 days; and once the two wines are mixed, the base wine is obtained to carry out the tirage and its subsequent aging in bottle, to reach the Gran Reserva category, with a minimum of 36 months, when the disgorging begins, without adding sugar, to be able to be called Brut Nature.

TASTING NOTES
Clear and bright, pale lemon in colour with green highlights and abundant fine, tight bubbles. With pronounced aromas of white flowers such as jasmine and orange blossom over notes of green fruit such as apple and pear, as well as notable hints of yeast and pastry. Dry, fresh and rewarding on the palate with flavours of apple and very ripe pineapple. A creamy mousse with good persistence that shows the finesse of the vintage.
