Finca Valldosera is a beautiful estate located inside
the Garraf Natural Park, at the Penedès region. They are known for the extended
use of Subirat Parent grape, an indigenous Catalan variety similar to some
kinds of Malvasía. Valldosera Brut Nature includes a small part of Subirat
Parent, as well as the traditional Cava blend (Xarel·lo, Macabeu and Parellada)
and some Chardonnay. Each variety vinifies separately, and the blend ages for
at least 18 months in the bottles. This sparkling shows an elegant rosary of
well integrated bubbles and a good balance between fruitiness and ageing
flavours.
