Biodynamic. 100% Macabeu. Fruit drawn from an old-vines, bush-trained vineyard of Macabeu called ‘Coscona,’ planted in 1973. Calcareous clay soils lend themselves to a driven, seriously chalky quality on the palate. 24 hours of skin contact, then the wine is put in bottle to ferment entirely there. It spend seven months on full lees before disgorgement and release. This isn’t a pét-nat that’s flabby with a bunch of RS: it’s lean, intense, with pretty structured bubble. Clearly the vineyard site, as well as having guidance from Toni Carbó directly on the winemaking, are contributing to the amazing quality of Anna Serra's very first solo cuvée.
Biodynamic. A dark rosato blended from one single field-blend plot of mixed old vines, containing the varieties Monastrell, Bastard Negre, Mandó, Monica, and Malvasia de Sitges. 100% direct-pressed, with roughly twelve months on the full lees in bottle before disgorgement and release. Notes of warm soil, dark strawberry and cranberry, and notable Mediterranean garrigue, with a clear shape and nice bubbles: not an imprecise, off-dry version of pét-nat, but rather something quite serious that reflects the traditions of Cava country while still giving heartiness and a deeply refreshing quality. Both the quality of the vineyard site, as well as guidance from well-known La Salada winemaker Toni Carbó on the winemaking, are contributing to the amazing depth in these sparkling wines.
Biodynamic. 100% Xarel.lo. Fruit drawn from a single parcel called ‘Vicenta,’ planted in 2002 to Xarel.lo on very sandy, clay-calcareous soils. Cold crushed, 75% of the juice is direct-pressed, and 25% of the juice sees two weeks of skin contact, then the wine is put in bottle to ferment entirely there. It spent an impressive 20 months on full lees before disgorgement and release. Warm, bright, with refined minerality and soft bubble. Both the quality of the vineyard site, as well as guidance from well-known La Salada winemaker Toni Carbó on the winemaking, are contributing to the amazing depth in these sparkling wines.
