WINE MAKING PROCESS
Castell Llord Cava Brut is produced using the Méthode Traditionnelle, the same process used for Champagne, which involves a secondary fermentation taking place directly in the bottle. This method is crucial for developing the wine's characteristic effervescence and complexity. The grapes, a blend of Macabeo, Parellada, and Xarel-lo, are sourced from the Penedès region. After the initial fermentation, the wine is aged in the bottle for at least one year in the winery's cellars, typically at controlled temperatures not exceeding 16°C, before being released.
