Cava Duran 5V Gran Reserva Brut 2017
Availability: In stock
This is the new vintage of Duran 5V Gran Reserva Brut, produced by Cava Duran from a blend of 5 varieties (hence the name 5V).
Specifically, this Spanish sparkling wine is made from the three traditional Cava grapes, Macabeo, Parellada and Xarel·lo, plus the French ones Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Harvest began in late August with the Chardonnay and Pinot noir varieties, followed by Xarel·lo and Macabeo in September, and finally Parellada in late October. All of the grapes were picked by hand.
The varieties were separately fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, with the exception of Chardonnay, which was fermented in French oak barrels. Finally, Duran 5V Gran Reserva Brut 2017 was blended and aged for a minimum of 48 months.
Limited production.
