NV Castell d'Age Cava Brut 'Solstici'
Product Details
Wine Type: Sparkling Wine
Grape Varietal: White Blend
Country of Origin: Spain
Appellation/Region: Penedès
Farming: Biodynamic

40% Xarel·lo, 40% Macabeu, 20% Parellada; all certified organic and biodynamic. Native yeast fermentation, aged on the lees in the bottle for 18 months. 5 g/L dosage. 12% alcohol. 5,000 cases made. 

This is a fresher, fruitier rendition of the house-style, given shorter lees-aging to heighten its early-drinking appeal. This is dry, simple (in a good way!) and super drinkable, with aromas and flavors of fresh red apples and pears without a ton of nuttiness or toastiness like you often see in Cava.

Created by three generations of women in the Junyent family, Castell D’Age is located in the Beguda Baixa, in the heart of the Alt Penedés region.  In 1969, when Aurèlia Figueras decided to start planting her Xarel.lo vines, Francisco Franco, the repressive, autocratic dictator who ruled Spain for thirty-six years, was still in power. “Women were not supposed to be entrepreneurs,” says her granddaughter Olivia Junyent. Franco was a traditionalist and believed a woman’s role was that of a homemaker and caretaker, and his laws reflected that. But Aurèlia was defiant and planted her vines. In the late 1980s, Anne Marie Comtese, her daughter-in-law, realized the vineyard’s potential and decided to turn it into a business. She transformed the Penedès industry, introducing organic farming to their own land and to the region as a whole. Known as a pioneer in the field, Anne Marie brought to light the importance of respect for the land and attention to detail: two philosophies the women still hold true today, from grape to glass. With the addition of her daughter Olivia Junyent to the business, they are now certified organic and biodynamic agriculture, a method that respects the relationship between humans and earth.
