Avinyo Cava makes this refreshing white in the Penedes region of Catalunya. This is their “Vi d'agulla”, which means "prickly wine" in Catalan, named for its slightly effervescent character. Made from a blend of 60% Muscat de Frontignan, 25% Macabeo, and 15% Xarel·lo, this offers delicate aromas of lime zest, citrus, white flowers and slate minerality that carry over to the light, lively and zesty palate along with yellow cherry, gooseberry, and a bit of minerality.- D&M TASTING NOTESIMPORTER NOTES:VINIFICATION – “After a nighttime harvest, the grapes are very gently pressed in a pneumatic press. The alcoholic fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks between 14°C and 16°C. The wine is then cold stabilized before the beginning of secondary fermentation in stainless steel tanks with the addition of native yeast and raw cane sugar. The wine is bottled in all its freshness in January.”
