Production: Cava de Guarda Superior with at least 25 months of lees aging; hand-harvesting at dawn; cooling of the grapes before pressing; natural pre-clarification by cold; controlled fermentation of the must; tirage in the first months of the year; second fermentation and long maturation at a stable, low temperature in the cellar.

Vineyard: Organically certified Macabeo and Xarel·lo vineyards; careful selection of plots based on freshness, aromatic potential and balance; traditional management with a focus on soil life and natural vitality.

Soils: Calcareous, sandy-loamy soils of medium depth.

Orientation: Different plot locations around the southern slopes of the region, depending on grape variety and microclimate.

Climate: Continental with Mediterranean influences; warm days, cool nights, marked temperature swings that support aromatic clarity and lively acidity.

Vinification: Cooling of the grapes before draining; gentle must extraction exclusively from the musto flor; natural sedimentation without fining agents; temperature-controlled fermentation; blending of different base wines before tirage; second fermentation and at least 25 months of bottle aging under constantly cool conditions.

Tasting note: Pale straw yellow with golden reflections. On the nose, delicate yeasty notes, brioche and baked goods aromas, complemented by white fruit. On the palate, soft, round and pleasantly creamy with elegantly integrated, very fine mousse and a long finish.

Food pairing suggestion: Perfect with fish carpaccio, seafood, mild cheeses, tempura, risotto, grilled vegetables or as an aperitif.
