Availability: In stock
Formerly known as Giró Ribot Tendencias Extra Brut, this Cava from Penedès has been renamed and redesigned. Now it is called Giró Ribot UMA Brut Gran Reserva.
The composition of this Spanish sparkling wine has also been modified. Now it is a blend of Xarel·lo, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, coming from estate-owned vineyards 20 to 25 years old.
Harvested by hand, once in the cellar the grapes were destemmed, cold-macerated and fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature.
After that, Giró Ribot UMA Brut Gran Reserva 2015 was blended and bottled. Then it completed secondary fermentation and was aged for a period of 50 months. Residual sugar totalizes 5 gr per litre.
Very versatile, this Cava Gran Reserva from Penedès is excellent as an aperitif or with light dishes.
