- Winemakers: Esteve Family
- Farming: Certified Organic
- Varieties: 60% Macabeo, 25% Xarel·lo, 15% Parellada
- Vineyard: Estate-grown vines planted between 1945 and 2017 at Can Fontanals, situated at elevations of 250 to 275 meters.
- Soil: Sandy loam and clay-calcareous
- Vinification: Grapes are harvested at night to prevent oxidation and maintain optimal temperature. They are gently pressed using a pneumatic press, and the base wine ferments with indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 14°C to 16°C. After cold stabilization, secondary fermentation occurs in the bottle with the addition of yeast and sugar in March.
- Aging: Aged on lees for 18 to 24 months before disgorgement.
- Dosage: 6 g/L
- Alcohol Content: 12% ABV
- Tasting Notes: This Cava presents a bright, pale straw hue with fine, persistent bubbles. Aromas of green apple, pear, and citrus zest are complemented by subtle notes of brioche and almond. The palate is crisp and refreshing, showcasing flavors of orchard fruits, a hint of minerality, and a balanced acidity leading to a clean, elegant finish.
- Food Pairings: Versatile and food-friendly, it pairs well with seafood, tapas, light salads, and soft cheeses.
- Serving Temperature: Serve chilled at 6-8°C (43-46°F).
- Production: Bottled unfiltered to preserve the wine's natural character.
- Accolades: Avinyó is recognized as one of the finest artisanal sparkling wine producers globally, known for their relentless drive for quality and respect for traditions.
