Description

'It has an expressive nose with notes of ripe, fresh peaches and apples with a predominance of lees and herbs - especially as it opens up. Zesty acidity on the palate with fine bubbles without being aggressive.'

 

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Mas Candi

Mas Candi is a winery located in the Penedes region of north-eastern Spain. It was started up in just 2006 by four viticulture and winemaking students from France. They are a tiny winemaking venture that use solely their own grapes from their own organically farmed vineyards. Their flagship grape is Xarel-lo, one of the most under-rated white grapes in all of Spain. They have made it their life's work over the last decade to produce serious wines from Xarel-lo to show the world how incredible it can be.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Cava Blend

Cava is best remembered as being the Champagne of Spain. It is made in the same way (by Methode Traditionelle) the only real difference is that it is made, more often than not, with the local grapes of Parellada, Macabeo and Xarel-lo. When tasting a Cava you should get more stonefruit and treefruit flavours like apples and peaches.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Penedes

Penedes is the vast region in northeastern Spain. The fair majority of the Penedes' claim to fame is from the "Champagne of Spain": Cava. Cava is a sparkling wine that is made in exactly the same way as Champagne (bottle-fermented/methode traditionelle) only with Spanish grape varietals. Those white grape varietals are: Xarel.lo, Parellada and Macabeu; Tempranillo and Garnacha can be used for the roses.
