Carles Andreu Gran Reserva Brut Nature
2020Spec sheet
The wine
This is a Cava made in the Conca de Barberà, a popular Catalan denomination due to its cool climate and elegant wines. When we add that Carles Andreu is one of the region’s most respected and acclaimed producers, you’ll easily understand the success of this great sparkling wine.
What does this wine taste like?
Due to its aromas from ageing and balanced acidity, the Carles Andreu Gran Reserva Brut Nature is a great performer when paired with food. It’s wonderful with fish and white meats, grilled or fried, especially if they’re served with creamy sauces, buttery or cheesy and subtly seasoned.

Winemaking
The Parellada grape, perfectly adapted to the Conca de Barberà terrain, is the star of this Cava, accompanied by the elegant and versatile Chardonnay. Each plot and variety undergo a first fermentation separately in stainless steel tanks, with no malolactic fermentation. Afterwards they are combined, ready to rest in bottle for a minimum of 36 months. After disgorging, bottling occurs without any addition of sugar.
