VINEYARD
Grapes selected manually from the family vineyards located in the municipality of Grávalos (La Rioja), south of Mount Yerga at an altitude of 800 metres above sea level. This height provides grapes with low alcohol content and good acidity which results in very fresh cavas with fine and elegant aromas.
ELABORATION
The free-run juice obtained from a gentle pressing is used to make Benito Escudero. The must undergoes the first fermentation at a low temperature, 14ºC.
At the beginning of spring, once the first wine is clean, it is bottled to carry out the second fermentation and obtain the nice bubbles of the cava. After the second fermentation, it is aged for a minimum of 24 months sur lie.
TASTING NOTES
Raspberry salmon colour.
Fine bubble forming a small, slowly evolving rosary.
Fresh and fruity aromas that are balanced by its elegant acidity.
FOOD MATCH
Paté, blue cheese and all kind of desserts.
