Product Description
Details
Made by the Cavas Llopart winery, the sparkling wine Llopart Llegat Familiar is a truly remarkable single vineyard Corpinnat from Penedès.
This varietal Spanish sparkling wine made solely from Xarel·lo grapes sourced from La Viña del Paulino, a less than 1 hectare plot with calcareous and sandy-clay soils planted in 1935.
The 90-year-old vines were harvested by hand and the grapes were meticulously sorted. This small-batch sparkling wine was vinified following the traditional method.
Fermentation was carried out under controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. After that, this Corpinnat organic sparkling wine completed secondary fermentation in the bottle.
Then the sparkling wine Llopart Llegat Familiar 2011 matured in the bottle for 156 months minimum - no less than 13 years - during which period the lees were coup de poignée stirred every 4-5 months.
Manually disgorged in October 2024, this Corpinnat Brut Nature was stored for a further year before being released onto the market.
Only 1,332 bottles produced.
