WINE MAKING PROCESS
Familia Oliveda Brut Nature Reserva is produced using the traditional method, also known as the Champenoise method, which involves a secondary fermentation directly in the bottle. This process is crucial for developing the wine's effervescence and complexity. Following fermentation, the Cava is aged for a minimum of 18 months in the cellar, a period that allows for the development of its characteristic refined aromas and smooth texture. The grapes, Macabeo and Xarel-lo, are sourced from the D.O. Cava region in Catalonia, Spain.
