Torelló 3 vintages
Brut Nature 2021-2022-2023

Varietats: 52% Xarel·lo, 36% Macabeo and 12% Parellada. 2021 (5% barrel aging), 2022 (13%) and 2023 (82%).

The harvests: The 2021, 2022 and 2023 vintages are very different. 2021 was characterised by low rainfall (50% less than usual), a mild July and an August with heat peaks reaching 40°C. The harvest produced smaller berries, but with great aromatic potential and good acidity. In 2022, from late spring and throughout the summer, we experienced four severe heatwaves. Production was between 20% and 30% lower (depending on the variety) compared to the previous year due to intense drought. However, the grapes were in excellent sanitary condition, with well-balanced acidity. 2023 will be remembered for an extreme drought and for keeping a close eye on the vineyard’s condition. However, the drought did not affect the quality of the grapes, resulting in excellent base wines.

Varieties/Blending: 52% Xarel.lo, 36% Macabeo and 12% Parellada.2021 (5% Barrel ageing), 2022 (13%) i 2023 (82%).

Production: The bunches arrive whole at the cellar and, before passing all the grapes over the selection table, a separate soft pressing is done of each variety. We use the Inertys technology in our presses which protects the juice from oxidation during the pressing phase. In winter we do the assemblage of the different varieties and vintages, the bottling and afterwards the second fermentation in the bottle.

Ageing: More than 36 months on the lees. Every year we do the poignettage (agitation of the bottle), which makes that the yeasts mix again with the wine. Due to that, the sparkling wine is being enriched in aromas and flavors. Manual clarification in pupitres. Disgorging without sugar addition.
