Pregadeu 2023 is a natural wine crafted by Els Vinyerons, in the Catalonia region in Spain. This sparkling Cava wine is made with 100% Xarel-lo grapes ... AND WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
Huge bursts of fresh green apples, pears alongside a baked biscuit finish.
Acidity is fresh and not too high. It would make a perfect Brunch date accompaniment we can assure you - this is DELICIOUS!
Els Vinyerons state that Pregadeu Cava means a lot to them and that "Xarello is the greatest white Catalan variety!
With medium fertility and early maturing it is capable of expressing the minerality and balsamic underbrush of the Mediterranean climate supported with a big acidity that makes this grape the best shot to represent our vision of the white wind in this land.
The soil of the chosen vineyards from which this wine comes is distinctly limestone with a profuse scattering of fossilized oysters from Neogen period, 18 millions years ago. Facing east, the vineyard is bathed by gently cool morning sun.
For a respectful vinification, grapes are harvested by hand and after a soft pressing, the must is fermented with indigenous yeasts.
No sulfur added at any time or any other product, to preserve the honesty of the soil and allow the expression of this great grape.
We are extremely happy with the acidity and concentration of the grape in this harvest. As a result we get a mineral wine, with an exceptional salinity and a nice freshness, citrus and floral aromas, flint and fennel."
