Methode champenoise. Rapid entry into the cellar by gravity. Gentle press with 50% extraction of free-run juice. Each variety is fermented in small tanks at controlled temperature. Secondary fermentation in bottle.
One of the few designated "Cavas de Paraje," the highest quality designation a Cava can achieve.
Aging

On the palate, it has good acidity and is full-bodied, with a persistent finish.

Fine and persistent bubbles.
