Vilarnau Rosé Delicat Brut Reserva is a pale pink Cava. Very intense, it
offers great aromatic complexity.
Growing Conditions
The Garnacha and Pinot Noir grapes used to make this cava are grown in Vilarnau’s own vineyards near our “Vilarnau d’Espiells” winery. The vineyards were certified as fulfilling Organic Viticulture standards in 2015, which implies the highest possible degree of respect for the biodiversity of the local flora and fauna.
Winemaking
Upon arrival at the winery the freshly harvested grapes are chilled so as to preserve the aromatic precursors that are found in their skins, as these are what produce the primary aromas that the cava displays later.
The Garnacha and Pinot Noir musts are fermented separately in stainless steel tanks at a controlled 15ºC for 30 days, following which we create the blend and bottle the resulting wine ready to begin the second fermentation, which lasts approximately six weeks and takes place in underground cellars.
After the second fermentation has finished the cava remains in contact with the yeast for a minimum of 15 months.
Aging
Reserva, 18 months
Nose
On the nose, it displays the primary aromas that are typical of a delicate rosé cava: the subtleties of violets and roses in combination with ripe red berries: strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.
Palate
On the palate it is smooth, very creamy, fresh and elegant.
