Winemaking Ars Collecta Blanc de blancs is crafted from a carefully selected range of vineyards, where the grapes reach their fullest potential and expressiveness. The Chardonnay comes from the Costers del Segre region, characterized by a continental climate; the Xarel-lo is sourced from the central plain of Penedès, while the Parellada grows in the high-altitude vineyards of Pla de Manlleu, both areas enjoying a Mediterranean climate. The grapes are harvested during the cool night hours in early August to preserve their aromas and prevent oxidation. Upon arrival, the grapes are gently pressed using a pneumatic press, and the must is fermented in small batches at 17°C. A small portion of the must is vinified in French oak barrels to enhance the final blend. The cava is then aged for 18 months at a stable temperature, deep within the thick-walled cellars. Every step of the process aims to honor the land’s natural gifts, resulting in a fresh, youthful, and versatile cava.

The Character
Overall Full, balanced cava with creamy texture and fresh fruit note
Aromas Fresh fruit aromas greet the nose, highlighted by white flowers and juicy stone fruits like peaches
Mouthfeel The palate is full, complex, balanced and creamy.
Tasting Notes Visually, this Cava is clean and bright, of a warm yellow color with golden highlights. Fine bubbles that form a continuous bead and a persistent mousse indicative of good bottle fermentation. On the nose delicate notes of toast appear, intertwined with stone fruits: peaches and nectarines, over a background of brioche and nuts that result from long ageing on its lees. Very complex, with elegant notes, and a richness of aromas that improves with time in the glass. It is broad, complex, balanced and creamy on the palate.
Selling Point Full, balanced cava with creamy texture and fresh fruit note
Pairings Pairs well with seafood, light meats, rice, and fruit desserts.
