Clàssic Penedès Albet i Noya Brut 21 Reserva 2017
Availability: In stock
Belonging to the Clàssic Penedès designation, Albet I Noya Brut 21 is made from an original blend of Chardonnay and Parellada. The grapes come from 25-year-old organically framed grapevines, located in a Penedès area called Serra de l'Ordal.
The grapes used to produce this Spanish sparkling wine were harvested by hand and meticulously selected. After fermenting in stainless steel tanks, the cava Albet i Noya Brut 21 Reserva 2017 was bottled. After that, it completed secondary fermentation and a 18-month ageing period. It was cold-stabilized before being manually disgorged on the date printed on the back label.
This Brut Reserva of the Albet i Noya winery is elegant and fragrant.
