About the Producer

Our newest Sparkling addition from the Penedès by Ariadna and Ricard. With a long history working with Gramona and (being obsessed with) Sparkling wine, the couple has a small parcel of 5ha in the Bitlles River valley, very well known for some of the best Cava producers.

Their Ancestral is a blend of 60% Xarello and 40% Macabeu at an altitude of 300m above the sea, hand harvested, whole bunch press, a 48-hour racking to clarify the must and eliminate impurities, allowing the natural characteristics of the grapes to stand out in the wine.

Spontaneous fermentation at controlled temperatures between 14º and 16ºC, and finish the first fermentation inside the bottle, with the aim of achieving a creamy and integrated bubble. Disgorged manually and bottled with natural cork and staples to close.
