Celler Kripta Cava Gran Reserva Barrica 2019| Ewineasia.com

Celler Kripta Barrica Gran Reserva is a brut nature cava crafted by Celler Kripta-Agustí Torelló Mata within the D.O. Cava. This family-run winery is situated in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia (Barcelona), a village renowned for housing Spain's most esteemed cava producers.

Celler Kripta Barrica Gran Reserva is composed entirely of the Macabeo grape variety. The Macabeo grapes are segregated into three batches for processing. The first batch, comprising 40%, is vinified in French oak barrels where it also undergoes an aging period of 8 months. A significant portion of the Macabeo grapes is fermented in stainless steel tanks for 31 days at a controlled temperature of 16°C. The remainder of the grapes, harvested early, is used to perfect the balance of the blend. Following the vinification process and the subsequent blending, the wine is bottled and then aged for around 60 months in subterranean cellars. It is in these cellars where the wine undergoes secondary fermentation, transforming it into cava.

Celler Kripta Barrica Gran Reserva is a brut nature cava, signifying it is the style with the least amount of added sugars.
