Classic Method Sparkling Wine 'Viblioteca Familiar' El Jardì dels Sentits 2010

With the Metodo Classico Sparkling Wine 'Viblioteca Familiar,' we find ourselves in Spain, about 40 kilometers from Barcelona, in the heart of 'El Jardí dels Sentits.' This viticultural reality, founded by Blanca Ozcáriz Raventós' grandfather, the current owner, under the name of Lacrima Baccus Cava Winery, has deep roots in an ancient tradition. Blanca, the guardian of this heritage, has been dedicated to producing Cava in harmony with nature, the environment, and traditions for over twenty years, using modern winemaking technologies combined with certified organic and biodynamic agricultural practices. The vineyard, characterized by clay, mineral, and limestone-rich soils, produces grapes that season after season convey unique organoleptic nuances. In the cellar, the care and attention to detail are reflected in the labels, narrating the Mediterranean in bubbles that have nothing to envy to other Metodo Classico wines.

Blanca's meticulous work for this 'Viblioteca Familiar' of El Jardí Dels Sentits begins in the vineyard, where utmost attention, combined with the characteristics of the soil, leads to the harvest of healthy and concentrated grapes. This dedication is also reflected in the cellar, where every production step is carried out with meticulousness. The wine, the result of 11 years of aging on lees, is obtained from a unique blend: 70% Xarel.lo from fifty-year-old vines in deep limestone soils, 15% Macabeo from forty-five-year-old vines in clayey limestone soils rich in calcium carbonates, and 15% Parellada from twenty-year-old vines in clayey soils above ancient marly sediments. Unfiltered and unclarified, this Brut Nature sparkling wine stands out for its sensory refinement, a result of grape quality and a decade of refinement.

The Metodo Classico Sparkling Wine 'Viblioteca Familiar' reveals mature white fruit and a hint of citrus on the nose, while on the palate, it is dry and fresh, with a fine and creamy bubble that envelops the palate. A profound and elegant gastronomic experience. The geographical context of the Protected Designation of Origin (D.O.P.) Penedès, divided into Penedès Superior, Medio, and Inferior, emphasizes the importance of the terroir in the production of this unique wine. We recommend pairing this sparkling wine with risottos, white meats in sauce, and acidic dishes, thus maximizing its distinctive characteristics. This bottle is a testament to Blanca and her family's commitment to preserving and transmitting the art of producing high-quality sparkling wines in the heart of Penedès, exploring traditions with an eye to the future.
