Anciano Cava Brut

Introduction

Anciano Cava Brut is a traditional sparkling wine from Spain, produced in the Cava Denominación de Origen (DO) within the hills of Catalonia. The wine is crafted by Covides, one of the region's top bodegas, which manages over 3,000 hectares of vineyards to ensure a consistent supply of high quality grapes. Drawing on centuries of Spanish winemaking history, the estate employs the traditional 'méthode champenoise' to create a stylish and affordable alternative to premium sparkling brands.

Wine Description

This Cava presents a pale yellow colour characterized by fine and persistent bubbles. The nose is notably fruity, featuring clear hints of fresh apples. On the palate, the wine is medium bodied and displays a satisfying balance between sweet fruit flavours and vibrant acidity. It is composed of a traditional blend of 45% Xarel-lo, 35% Macabeo, and 20% Parellada. The wine has an alcohol content of 11.5% ABV and is typically enjoyed over an optimal drinking window of 1–3 years to maintain its freshness. While the estate manages its land with respect and sustainability, this specific bottling is not certified organic.
