Wine information:
Jordi and Josep Casanovas' beautiful 60 hectare Can Macia estate has been bottling Cava since 1936 but until recently the family sold most of their production as grapes or wine to other Catalan producers. Following extensive investment in the cellars in 2000, the main emphasis has been on high quality estate-bottled wines. The mainstay of production remains Cava, with still wines becoming an increasingly important part of the range.
Mas Macia Cava Brut is a classic blend of 40% Macabeo, 35% Xarel-lo and 15% Parellada grapes. It is made using the the traditional Cava method. The finished Cava has very small, fine, persistent bubbles, which are a
result of the low temperatures in the wine cellar where fermentation takes place. The wine is matured for an extended period of 24 months before disgorgement to enhance the complex, fruity aromas. A fresh and nicely creamy Cava with complex flavours of apples and stone fruits with herbal notes and some nutty, yeasty notes from time on the lees. Good acidity and a long, savoury finish. Fresh cava with hints of apples and nuts. Great on it's own or enjoy with friends and tapas. Excellent on its own as an occasion wine or try with salted almonds and other tapas.
