The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.
The best-selling Cava from the beautiful Mont Marcal estate. This cava-specializing winery has an impressive track record. It was founded in 1975 in Penedes, about 50 kilometers west of Barcelona. Manuel Sancho, a true musician, decided to focus on a new art: cava. Mont Marcal is housed in an imposing old 14th-century manor house, where, among other wines, this Mont Marcal Brut Reserva Brut is produced under the strict watchful eye of the winemaker.
While Champagne is produced in France and Franciacorta in Italy, Spain also has its own sparkling wine: Cava. Just like Champagne, Cava undergoes a special second fermentation. There are also strict rules regarding the process of producing Cava. The grapes for Mont Marcal Brut Reserva Cava are grown in the most beautiful locations in the Penedes region. Mont Marcal Brut Reserva Cava uses Macabeo, Xarel.lo, Chardonnay, and Parellada grapes, all fermented separately. The second fermentation in the bottle takes place in the enormous cellars of Mont Marcal and takes at least 15 months.
This Cava is a Brut Reserva, meaning it's a bit richer and heavier. However, this doesn't detract from its fantastic taste. The aroma of Mont Marcal Brut Reserva Cava is surprisingly fruity. You smell ripe apples, bananas, and pineapple. The taste is truly beautiful, a truly fantastic sparkling wine. The mousse of Mont Marcal Brut Reserva Cava is heavenly. Swirl the Cava around your mouth and you'll be seduced by delicate aromas. Despite its dry character, Mont Marcal Brut Reserva Cava remains delightfully fresh and elegant. Perfect with anything from the sea.
