Cava DO Collita 2009

Vineyards

Produced from organic Xarel·lo and Macabeu grapes, Cava Collita 2009 originates from Cellers de Can Suriol’s 30 hectares of certified organic vineyards in Penedès. These vineyards are divided into over 25 micro-plots, each contributing distinct qualities to the blend. Situated in clay-limestone soils and benefiting from the Mediterranean climate, the micro-plots are managed with sustainable and biodynamic practices, allowing for a true expression of the terroir and promoting biodiversity across the estate.

Winemaking

Following a traditional method, this Cava undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, with an extended lees aging period that imparts a creamy texture and fine, persistent bubbles. Cellers de Can Suriol uses gravity-fed processes in their partially buried cellar for natural temperature stability, while the long lees aging and natural clarification reflect their dedication to quality and minimal intervention.

Appearance

Pale gold with delicate, continuous bubbles indicative of its time on lees.

Nose

Aromas of green apple, pear, and citrus peel blend with toasted almond and a light, chalky minerality, offering a layered and complex bouquet.

Palate

Cava Collita 2009 presents a creamy, well-rounded palate with fresh apple, lemon zest, and subtle mineral notes. The balanced acidity enhances its smooth texture, leading to a long, dry finish.

Food pairing

This versatile Cava complements oysters, grilled fish, fine cheeses, and light tapas, making it an excellent choice for seafood and Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
