Availability: In stock
Produced by bodega Raimat, Raimat El Cim del Turó (which literally means "The top of the hill"), is made from a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
The grapes are sourced from estate-owned vineyards with very poor, shallow soils composed of clay.
Once in the cellar, the grapes were cold pressed, racked and fermented in stainless steel tanks. After that, this Cava Reserva Brut Nature was racked again before undergoing malolactic fermentation. Then this Spanish sparkling wine was blended, bottled and added tirage liqueur prior to completing secondary fermentation.
Finally, the Cava Raimat El Cim del Turó was aged for a minimum of 15 months. It was added dosage liqueur after being disgorged.
This is nicely crafted Cava from Penedès.
