D.O. Cava, Catalonia (Spain) - 45% Xarel·lo, 30% Macabeo, 25% Parellada.
Each variety brings a different dimension to the blend. Xarel·lo provides structure and personality; Macabeo contributes its fruity expression and elegance; and Parellada adds freshness and finesse. Together, they form the basis of a balanced, complex Cava deeply rooted in the winemaking tradition of the Penedès region.
Made using the traditional method, with a second fermentation in the bottle, FERRET EXCENT is aged for 36 months, a period that allows the wine to evolve slowly and develop greater complexity and depth. During this long aging process, the wine acquires a more refined texture and a more complex aromatic expression, while the bubbles gradually integrate into the whole.
Its Brut Nature designation means that it is presented without the addition of dosage sugar, allowing the wine's expression and aging process to manifest themselves with maximum purity. In the glass it offers an elegant and dry profile, with a fine and persistent bubble and a complexity that places it above sparkling wines.
