The Cava Cygnus Albireo Brut is the entry-level Spanish sparkling wine of bodega U Més U Fan Tres from Penedès.
A blend of the traditional DO Cava varieties, Xarel·lo (35%), Parellada (35%) and Macabeo (30%), the grapes are sourced from certified organic vineyards sitting at 350 metres of altitude.
This blended Brut Cava was traditionally vinified. After completing alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the Cava Cygnus Albireo Brut went through secondary fermentation in the bottle and was aged for 12 to 18 months before being disgorged.
The total sugar content of this vegan Cava is 8.5 grams per litre, which makes it just perfect for beginners.
