Torelló Ancestral 2023

Varieties: 88% Xarel·lo and 12% Macabeu.

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. Before bottle fermentation, the two grape varieties are blended.

This fermentation begins in a stainless steel tank with indigenous yeasts from Finca Can Martí and, once a specific density is reached, it is bottled so that the first and only fermentation can finish in the bottle.

Aging: More than 48 months in bottle. Every year there is poignettage (shaking the bottle), which causes the yeasts to mix again with the wine. In this way the sparkling wine is enriched in aromas and flavors. Manual clarification in pupitres. Disgorging without sugar addition.

Tasting note: It appears clean and brilliant to the eye, with a pale gold colour, and has a constant emission of microbubbles which form a rosary. To the nose it is aromatically rich, highlighting Mediterranean herbs, notes of aniseed, mature apple and a depth of fine-yeast brioche. On the palate it is dry, with a marked refreshing acidity, citric notes and lemon pear. In the mouth, the bubbles give the sensation of well-integrated mousse. An ancestral that is long and elegant in the mouth.
