Villa Conchi Extra Brut Imperial 2019

Villa Conchi Extra Brut Imperial contains a higher proportion of Xarel·lo (40%) due to having to undergo longer aging. A variety that provides more volume and structure, reducing the proportion of Parellada by 10%. It maintains 30% Macabeo that lends fruitiness and 10% Chardonnay that gives it elegance.

The harvests take place between the end of August and the first days of September, when the grapes are not yet ripe, but offering the main values ​​for cava: acidity and lower alcohol. The harvest was carried out at night, to avoid high temperatures and premature fermentations. The bunches are transported in 25 kilo boxes in small stainless steel trailers. When they arrive at the winery, they are refrigerated at 10ºC and subsequently ground, fermenting each variety separately at a constant temperature of 16ºC to preserve their primary aromas. When this process is finished, the three wines are assembled and the sugar and yeast are added and then bottled and produce the formation of bubbles in the second fermentation in this container. The bottles are stored in underground cellars at a constant temperature of 15º-17ºC in contact with their lees during aging for 20 months.

All this time will allow the interaction of the wine with the yeasts, offering a fine reduction flavor with memories of withered flower, light touches of almonds and dried herbs with a small and homogeneous bubble, with a complex taste, with structure, clean and fresh.
