Terroir and production

Alta Alella cultivates vineyards near Barcelona, where the Mediterranean influence meets the limestone soils. This combination creates ideal conditions for a sparkling wine with mineral precision. The Mourvèdre grapes benefit from the warm climate, but retain their essential acid structure thanks to the proximity to the sea. The traditional bottle fermentation, which is mandatory for Cava, gives the wine its fine perlage and complex yeast notes, while the 2020 vintage with its balanced weather conditions ensured optimal ripeness.
