Waitrose Cava Brut 75cl NV

Pale, bright yellow with greenish hues and a fine mousse. Floral, citrus and green apple notes reflect on the cava’s youth. These aromas reappear on the palate. A fresh, young, light and pleasant bubbly sparkling wine.

The grapes used for making this Cava basically come from the Cava appellation’s most Mediterranean region where the local varietals attain their optimum expression. They are grown on select vine plots by our viticulture teams who work together with our suppliers all year round in order to constantly improve crops, monitor ripeness levels, decide on the harvesting dates and finally to provide advice so that the grapes are carefully and rapidly transported to our wineries thus entering in optimum condition.

We plan the optimum harvest time for each varietal. The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed to obtain the musts which are then fermented at a temperature of 17°-18°C. Once all the fermentations have been completed and the wines have been stabilised we prepare the coupage. Each varietal contributes its special properties: the Macabeo renders wines with moderate acidity and a rich floral bouquet, with a delicate structure. The Xarel·lo varietal produces wines fit for ageing thanks to their structure, good acidity and good alcohol content. Finally, the Parellada renders wines with full fragrances and floral notes. After the blending process, the bottles are stacked in our underground cellars at a constant temperature where the second fermentation takes place successfully.
