ABOUT THIS WINE
Bodegas Maset, located in the Alt Penedès region of Catalonia, represents a historic winemaking legacy dating back to 1390. The estate house was constructed in 1777, and the family bottled their very first sparkling wine in 1917. Today, the tenth generation of the Massana family continues to farm these historic lands, combining centuries of tradition with modern sustainable viticulture. This Cava Brut Reserva showcases the classic grape varieties of the region grown on calcareous clay soils, reflecting the unique maritime heritage of the Penedès.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
This Cava is crafted using the traditional method (Método Tradicional). The grapes undergo primary fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks on the fine lees for up to six months to build texture and complexity. The secondary fermentation takes place inside the bottle, followed by an extensive aging period of at least 24 months on the lees in the underground cellars of La Granada before disgorgement, resulting in a refined bubble mousse and complex autolytic character.
