2022 Sumarroca Brut Cava Reserva

The Cava Brut Reserva is made from the traditional Cava varieties Xarel.lo, Parellada, and Macabeo, whose combination are know for the classic texture and well-rounded fruit to great Cava.  After harvest, each grape’s must goes through primary fermentation separately in stainless steel before being bottled together with a small dosage for a second fermentation in bottle. These bottles then rest for at least 20 months before disgorgement and release to the market. This Cava is bright straw yellow with small persistent bubbles, and fragrant with citrus fruits and apples on the nose.  The palate is very fresh and crisp with a lovely texture and acidity, with apple fruit and earthy tones from the dose of estate Xarel.lo.  An excellent accompaniment to many cuisines, as well as a perfect aperitif to any occasion.

Sumarroca is an estate where the Marquies of Monistrol had owned the largest farm in the entire Penedes region of northeast Spain, before a new ownership took it and renamed it in 1999. As the years progress, the Sumarroca family remains involved daily in the operations of the estate, and has a strong commitment to very sustainable farming practices, zero irrigation in the fields, and following strict organic regulations in order to produce the best fruit possible.
