ABOUT THIS WINE
Heretat Mas Tinell was established in 1980 by the Valderrama family in Vilafranca del Penedès, Catalonia, on a historical site with viticultural roots dating back eight centuries. The estate is globally famous for its ultra-modern 5-star hotel, which features a breathtaking architectural design resembling aligned wine bottles lying on their side in a cellar. As an "Elaborador Integral" (one of only about 17 certified producers in DO Cava), Mastinell guarantees that 100% of the grapes are pressed, fermented, bottled, and aged directly on the estate, ensuring complete quality control.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
This organic, vegan sparkling wine is crafted from hand-harvested Macabeo, Parellada, and Xarel-lo grapes from old vines (50+ years old). Each variety is vinified separately, with the flower must clarified naturally via cold sedimentation. Following blending in January, secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle according to the traditional method. The wine is aged on its lees in underground cellars for an extraordinary 8 years (96 months) before disgorgement. It is bottled as a Brut Nature with zero dosage (no liqueur d'expédition added), resulting in a residual sugar of 2.0 g/l.
