The harvest: Starts at the end of August and extends till the end of October. It is usually carried out manually and the grapes are transported to the winemaking cellar in boxes containing 25-30 kgs or in small stainless steel trailers when the vineyard is close to the cellar.
Vinification: Grapes are harvested at night to avoid high temperatures and premature fermentations. They are quickly transported to the winemaking cellar and refrigerated at 10ºC to avoid the colour of the skins dyeing the must. Once the must is pressed and each variety has fermented separately at a constant 16ºC to preserve its primary aromas, the must is blended and bottled along with the base wine, to which the yeast and sugar are added to produce the formation of bubbles in the bottle. For the second fermentation, the bottles are kept in underground cellars at a constant 15º-17ºC where the wine is in contact with the lees.
The ageing : This Cava spends a minimum of 12 months in the bottle. After this period, sediments are decanted naturally and removed and expedition liqueur isadded.
