WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Göteborg Dark edition Oriol Rossell is produced by Oriol Rossell SA using traditional methods, characteristic of Cava. The grapes, Xarel-lo, Macabeu, and Parellada, are carefully handled after harvest, transported quickly in small containers to prevent damage. A key aspect of its production is the extended aging process, involving contact with yeasts for several years. This technique is fundamental in developing the wine's complex character and texture. The winery is committed to biodynamic and certified organic farming practices, reflecting a philosophy of environmental respect and preserving the natural expression of their estate vineyards.
