Organic sparkling wine, long-aged and very gastronomic. A blend of the traditional Xarel.lo variety with the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir varieties. The grapes are grown organically and biodynamically on the family estate "Les Valls" in Penedès with minimal intervention in the cellar.

Production:

Hand-harvested, gently separated pressing. The Chardonnay and Xarel.lo varieties are fermented separately in stainless steel vats at 16ºC. The Pinot Noir is vinified as "blanc de noirs," on lees for 2 months with batonnage three times a week.

Second fermentation in the bottle according to the traditional method, with a minimum ageing of 80 months.

Tasting Notes: Golden yellow in colour. Intense aromatic nose of dried fruits followed up by toasted notes and fruit in compote. The palate is elegant, firm, full-bodied, with good acidity, spicy notes, orange peel and ripe fruit. A great finish with a lot of finesse. 

Ideal to accompany a meal from start to finish
