Cava Becquer “Semi Seco”
The most romantic Cava
VARIETALS
100% Viura.
ALCOHOL
11,5% Vol.
VINEYARD
The grapes come from the property owned vineyards in the municipality of Grávalos, south of Monte Yerga at the foothills of the “Cordillera Ibérica” at an altitude between 700–800 meters above sea level. A remarkably high located area where you obtain fresh wines with little alcohol content and with very fine and elegant aromas.
The Viura grape is harvested during the two first weeks of October. The collection of the grapes is done manually, selecting the grapes, preventing any deteriorated grapes from reaching the press or not complying with the quality required to elaborate our cavas.
ELABORATION
The free-run juice, obtained after a mild pressing, will be destined for the elaboration of our cavas. The first fermentation of the must takes place in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature around 14oC. At the beginning of spring, when the wine is cleaned by precipitation, the second fermentation is done inside the bottle, remaining there to age for at least 24 months.
TASTING NOTES
Lemon yellow colour with steely reflections. Fine bubble forming a small and slowly evolving rosary. Aromas reminiscent of apples, pears and almonds. A balanced semi-sweet cava with a slight acidity that gives it freshness.
FOOD MATCH
Paté and blue cheese, cold and hot starters, fish and seafood.
