Product Description
Details
The Cava Mar de Marta is a fascinating Spanish sparkling wine that went through two ageing processes: one on the ground and one underwater.
Made by bodega Ramon Canals, this Gran Reserva Cava is made from the traditional DO Cava varieties: Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada, sourced from certified organic vineyards.
The grapes were vinified in stainless steel tanks. Then this organic Cava from Penedès was blended and bottled before going through secondary fermentation, after which it was kept for 36 months in the cellar.
Then the Cava Mar de Marta was aged underwater for a period of 7 months. The effects of underwater ageing – derived from the micro-oscillation caused by marine currents, as well as from water pressure and temperature – give this Cava from Penedès a decidedly original character.
It is worth mentioning that, as a result of the underwater ageing process, every bottle of this Cava from Penedès is covered with natural marine incrustations, as if it were a salvaged sunken treasure.
We suggest opening the bottle some minutes before drinking.
