Mercat Brut Nature Cava

The Cavas are made in the traditional method in the cellars of Moli Parellada in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, led by winemaker Francisco Dominguez.

Unlike most classifications, the DO Cava is defined by a specific method of winemaking, rather than a geographical reference. There are over six regions with the DO Cava designation, though over 90% is from the Penedès, which is also generally regarded as the best in terms of quality. The town of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia is the unofficial Cava capital in the heart of Penedès. 50% Xarel.lo, 40% Macabeu & 10% Parellada A complex nose of ripe pear and brioche with zesty minerality on the palate and chalky soil notes.
