1+1=3 Cava Brut, Sparkling Wine

Produced from estate-grown, hand-harvested grapes, this Cava was bottled using yeast from the Oenologist Institute of Champagne. Second fermentation commenced in bottle, which took three months at 57 degrees F. The wine is aged in the bottle for at least 16 months before disgorging and is disgorged several times per year, so length of time on yeast varies.

All bottles are marked with a disgorgement date on the back label. Dosage added (8.5 gm/liter). Total residual sugar: 9.9 gm/liter.

1+1=3 Cava Brut, Sparkling Wine NV	★★ Washington Post This wine displays bright tree-fruit flavors reminiscent of a blanc de blancs, with a long finish. It therefore tastes a bit sweeter and fuller than the Mascaró; that’s a style difference, not a qualitative judgment. ABV: 11.5 percent. 90 View from the Cellar The Cava “1+1=3” non-vintage Brut is made from a cépages of forty percent Macabeu, thirty percent Xarel-lo and thirty percent Parellada, with both the Macabeu and Parellada vines averaging more than fifty years of age and all of the grapes grown organically. The wine was aged for at least twelve months sur latte and finished with a dosage of 8.5 grams per liter after its disgorgement in July of 2022. The wine offers up a lovely bouquet of lemon, tart pear, wild fennel, salty minerality and a topnote of dried flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a good core, fine soil undertow, frothy mousse and a long, well-balanced and quite classy finish. This is a lovely bottle of Cava Brut. 2023-2035+.	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
