Cava Benito Escudero “Seco”
Perseverance against adversity
VARIETALS
100% Viura.
ALCOHOL
11,5% Vol.
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
Tasty, round and ripe with a hint of freshness provided by its elegant acidity.
Lemon yellow colour with steely reflections. Fine bubble that forms a small, slowly evolving rosary.
Aromas reminiscent of apples, pears and almonds.
FOOD MATCH
Paté and blue cheese. Cold and warm starters, fish and seafood.
