General information

It is the same area as the Prado Enea vineyards, high areas, but unlike these it is north-facing slopes with the aim of protecting the vineyards from the heats that could alter the delicate varietal aroma needed in cavas. The grapes are harvested around the third week of September. About 15 days before those dedicated to white wines. The harvest must be in boxes of 15 kilos to respect the integrity of the fruit. After going through the selection tape the clusters go to the press. The pressing is the most delicate moment to preserve the quality, only the must coming from the soft pressing is used to make this cava. The musts undergo a first fermentation in 1,000-liter wooden tanks to be kept in them until the end of April. From here the second bottle fermentation is caused. The wine is kept in rhyme for at least 14 more months

Tasting Notes Conde de Haro brut

The first impression in the glass is of a very little oxidation; bright yellow-green tones. The foam formed in the glass is dense and persistent, giving an idea of its structural composition in the mouth. Observing the inside of the glass we discover a string of microscopic bubbles freely ascending to the surface. The nose is dominated by the character of acidic fruit and flowers. In a second level we find fermentative characters and those of the transformation in the bottle (honey, vanilla, liquor). In the mouth it is sweet but fresh at the same time thanks to its great acidity. The combination of fruit / acidity / fine lees causes a surprising sensation of fullness in the mouth that invites you to continue tasting. In aftertaste the fruits return this time with a greater dominance of spices that leave a pleasant memory for a few seconds to the taster. Its consumption is fully satisfactory at this time although, due to the characteristics of the vineyard, this cava has a great aging potential.
