Cava de Paraje Can Sala 2007

The Cava of Paraje Can Sala is a complex and very well elaborated cava. The varieties that are used for the elaboration of the base wine of this great cava are, the Xarel·lo and the Parellada. The grapes are harvested in mid-September and early October respectively. The grape comes from carefully selected strains of the family farm of Sant Quintí de Mediona, an area that has calcareous lands that make it excellent for the cultivation of traditional varieties.

The grape collection is done manually and at the optimum time and is transferred to the original press of the winery (the first approved by the champagne, dating from 1900) that with a yield of just 50% a must is achieved of maximum quality. The whole process is done by gravity, no pumps, filters, or pipes are involved, because only in this way their original characteristics are respected.

Once the flower must is obtained, the mini fermentations are carried out, separated by varieties in 4,000 liter tanks to have an exhaustive control of the wines coming from each payment in order to reach the ideal coupage.

Aging in the cellar for a minimum of nine years, fermenting in bottles covered with cork stopper. After the aging, the bottles are placed on desks and an expert hand removes the bottle to take the sediments to the neck of the same. Finally the disgorgement is done by the method of "bolea", manually. As was done before.

The result is a spectacular cava that we could classify as one of the best cavas in Spain and that could compete with some vintage champagnes from you to you.

“This cava is Freixenet's response and mine to a historical debt. A project inspired by the feeling of gratitude towards those people who made possible the birth of our company. A return to the origins. To the place where my parents, together with my grandparents, made the first bottles of Freixenet. It all started in Can Sala over a hundred years ago. ” José Ferrer Sala
