WINE MAKING PROCESS
Josep Masachs Cava is produced using the traditional method, also known as Méthode Traditionnelle. This involves a primary fermentation followed by a second fermentation in the bottle, which creates the wine's effervescence and develops its characteristic complexity. The wine then undergoes aging on its lees for a minimum of 10 months, contributing to its texture and aromatic profile. The grapes used are the traditional Cava varietals: Macabeo, Xarel-lo, and Parellada. The winery also emphasizes sustainable practices, including organic viticulture.
