Growing Conditions
A cava with DO Cava produced by the Mata i Coloma winery, located in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Barcelona.
Organic. All work in the vineyards done by hand. High vine density of nearly 3000 vines per hectare with age an average of nearly 30 years old. Soils are a mix of limestone, sand and clay.
Pere is a very small domain focused on estate-bottling. He organically farms 5 hectares (organic since 2007 and currently being certified) and works with only the traditional varieties of Xarello, Macabeo, and Parellada. All work is done by hand and the vines are nearly 30 years on average.
Bottling
100% estate-bottled.
Winemaking
Pere is firmly in the Brut Nature camp. Almost all of his cuvees have zero dosage, giving the wines a striking purity. Only free run juice is used (for each kilo of grapes only the first 50 cl of juice are used).
40% Macabeo, 40% Xarello, 20% Parellada from 2010 plus 15% reserve wine from his perpetual solera of small barrels. Primary fermentation is done in oak with some battonage used to develop greater texture.
Disgorged with zero dosage.
Aging
Aged on the lees for over 68 months!
Nose
Bright fruit, nuts, fresh baked bread and chalk.
Palate
A medium to full bodied Cava with loads of complexity and a long finish.
Appearance
Light straw colored with fine persistent bubbles.
