Let's start things from the beginning. What is Cava? The Spanish version of sparkling wine produced in the same way as champagne but from different varieties. It is produced in many regions of Spain, mainly in Catalonia, with the traditional classical method that also produces champagne (methode champenoise). This method involves a second fermentation in the bottle and staying on the lees for at least 9 months in the case of Cava.

For Cava Castillo de Montblanc Brut Reserva the varieties used are the traditional Spanish Macabeu, Parellada, Xarel-lo. This is followed by slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh aromas that will pierce your nose. The best thing is that Cava Castillo de Montblanc Brut Reserva belongs to the Reserva category and remains not 15 months but 24 months in the bottle before being released.
