Grape variety: Macabeu and Xarel·lo (co-planted – "co-plantation")
Vineyard:
The wine comes from a single vineyard, Els Gorgs, in the village of Sant Sebastià dels Gorgs. The vineyard is more than 60–80 years old and is planted on very poor limestone (marl) soils containing fossils and with a pronounced mineral character. It lies at an altitude of around 220 m and is farmed under a regime of organic and regenerative agriculture with hand harvesting.
Ageing:
The base wine first ages for around 10 months in large oak barrels (3,000 l foudres) and 500 l barrels, which gives it structure and complexity. Secondary fermentation then takes place in bottle and the wine ages for at least 100 months on the lees, an exceptionally long ageing period that contributes to its depth, fineness of mousse and complex aromatics. The wine is made as a Brut Nature (with no dosage), with no addition of expedition liqueur.
Taste and aroma:
The nose shows complex notes of white fruit, brioche, pastry, spice, vanilla and delicate smoky nuances, resulting from the long ageing on the lees. On the palate the wine is dry, mineral, fresh and at the same time creamy, with a very fine mousse, balanced acidity and a long, elegant aftertaste. It combines fruitiness, structure and pronounced minerality.
Tasting notes:
The recommended serving temperature is approximately 6–8 °C. The wine pairs beautifully with seafood, fish, oysters, creamy dishes or delicate poultry. Thanks to its complexity, it is also suitable for enjoying on its own on special occasions.
