Celler Kripta Franc Brut Reserva
Franc Brut Reserva is your glass for fresh precision with juicy tension. This cava from the Anoia Valley combines organic farming, hand-harvesting, and extended bottle aging to create a sparkling wine that is both playful and gourmet. Officially classified as Corpinnat, its style and method perfectly match what you expect from a top cava.
Vineyards and region
The grapes come from Comtats de Barcelona, on chalky soils at altitude and cool nights. This produces base wines with lively acidity and a bright, fruity profile. Nature sets the rhythm here, with abundant sunshine during the day and a fresh breeze in the evening—exactly what you want for sparkling wines with finesse.
Vinification and maturation
Each grape is fermented separately with its own yeasts. The primary fermentation lasts approximately 28 days at 16 degrees Celsius, along with the fine lees for added texture. This is followed by tirage, the bottling with yeast and sugar that initiates the secondary fermentation in the bottle, followed by aging on the yeast residues in the cellar. What does Brut mean in cava, and why does it taste so dry? Brut indicates a low dosage, which gives the fruit a crispness and makes the wine dry and precise, with just enough roundness for balance.
Grape composition
Macabeu 50 percent
Xarel·lo 20 percent
Parellada 30 percent
Macabeu offers white fruit notes and a soft attack, Xarel lo provides backbone and length, and Parellada brings airy citrus notes and a fine, elegant mousse. This makes the blend fresh, precise, and deliciously drinkable.
Tasting notes and serving suggestions
The nose opens with notes of green apple, peach, and nectarine. On the palate, you'll discover fine bubbles, fresh energy, and a juicy, dry finish. Serve at 8 to 10 degrees Celsius as an aperitif, with ceviche, sushi, citrus salads, or light appetizers. The combination of a clean line and soft edges also makes this Brut Reserva ideal with low-sugar fruit desserts.
