Mirgin Opus

Alta Alella is the closest winery to Barcelona, within the D.O. Alella, which is located on the opposite side of the city, from Cava's traditional home - the Penèdes region. It is family-run and fully organically farmed. Winery has a deep knowledge of its terrain. It understands every corner of its vineyards. It values every single grapevines’ roots. Only through this esteem, can the Pujol-Busquets Guillén family keep their commitment and demonstrate their love for the land. The estate is just two kilometres away from the Mediterranean Sea and the vineyards are planted on slopes and terraces between 100 and 250m above sea level. The vines are grown on Sauló soil which is one of the most important elements that define the wines from Alta Alella: an acidic white granite-based sandy soil with low limestone content, low organic matter and good natural water drainage.

The fermentation of the Chardonnay takes place in second year French oak barrels, while the Pansa Blanca is fermented in stainless steel tanks. After four months, the blending is made through the traditional method and then there is a minimum ageing of 36 months. It is released on the market just after being disgorged.

Bright golden color. Nose opens with flower and ripe white fruit aromas with nuts notes, marked by the minerality and the salinity characteristics of the area. Palate is balanced and structured, recalling the aromas of ripe fruit and nuts. Well-marked acidity which is well integrated with flavors from the aging. The bubbles are fine and persistent. Very tasty and lingering after taste.
