ABOUT THIS WINE
Avinyó Reserva Brut is a Cava DO from the Penedès region of Catalonia, Spain, produced by the family-owned winery Avinyó. The wine is made from a blend of Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada grapes, all sourced from the producer's own organically farmed estate vineyards. The winery's philosophy emphasizes transparency and a connection to its historical roots, dating back to 1597. This particular bottling is distinguished by its use of estate-grown fruit without the addition of reserve solera wine, allowing for a direct expression of the vintage and vineyard.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Avinyó Reserva Brut is produced using the traditional method, with secondary fermentation occurring in the bottle. The grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 14-16°C using indigenous yeasts. The wine then undergoes an extended aging period of 18 to 24 months on its lees before disgorgement. Grapes are harvested at night to maintain freshness and prevent oxidation. The winery exclusively uses fruit from its own organically farmed estate vineyards.
