Cava Freixenet Cuvée D.S. Brut Gran Reserva 2019
Availability: In stock
The well-known Freixenet winery is the producer of this Spanish sparkling wine. The name of the Cava Freixenet Cuvée DS is an hommage to Dolors Sala, one of the winery's founders.
Made from a blend of the traditional Cava varieties, namely Xarel·lo, Macabeo and Parellada, the grapes were first meticulously selected and then fermented in stainless steel tanks.
After that, the Cava Freixenet Cuvée D.S. Brut Gran Reserva 2019 was bottled and aged for 48 months.
Finally, this vegan Cava from Penedès was disgorged and added a tiny amount of shipping liquor, which had been previously aged in chestnut barrels.
One of the bottlings of the Cuvées de Prestige collection, this Cava gran reserva is only produced in exceptional vintages.
