AGUST\u00cd TORELL\u00d3 MATA Cava\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>

is the fruit of a personal commitment. The commitment of a family and team who, year after year, harvest after harvest, take part in the miracle of creating extraordinary, internationally recognized cavas.<\/span><\/p>

A CAVA WITH SOUL<\/span><\/h5>

Our cavas come from the best Pened\u00e8s vines. They are made with respect to the local varieties and are in harmony with the terrain, the soil, climate, the process and tradition. These are cavas that strive for perfection. Cavas that speak for themselves. They are cavas with soul.<\/span><\/p>

AGUST\u00cd TORELL\u00d3\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

only makes cava with local Pened\u00e8s grape varieties, grapes from the oldest vines. The winemaker’s experience, passion, love and respect for the environment is closed in each and every bottle.<\/span><\/p>

OUR ORIGIN, EL PENED\u00c9S<\/h5>

Penedes lies in a horseshoe of mountains open to the sea where you can find some very special climate, the region covers an area from the sea level up to more than 800 meters above.
Our winery is located in Sant Sadurn\u00ed d’Anoia, in the heart of Pened\u00e9s, about 45km south of Barcelona. The Central Valley of Penedes is the area where Xarel\u00b7lo grape is the main star. This grape variety is the main structure of our products. The proximity to the Mediterranean is directly related to mild weather and hot temperature. On the coastal part of the region, in the Masis del Garraf, the Macabeos grape find it an ideal place to develop and mature in a balanced way. This grape is providing the characteristic varietal sweetness of our cavas. As for as the most mountainous area in the interior, in the Serralada del Prelitoral, we grow Parellada grape. It adds aromas and good acidity due to the thermal contrast based on the altitude.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Vintage 2015<\/h5>

One of the coldest winters in the past years in Pened\u00e8s. In January there was a frost and even some snow, that caused very drastic temperature falls throughout the region. This contributed to the humidity and great thermal contrasts that favored the plant. From May until the harvest, there were warm temperatures and heat waves typical of the season.
The harvest was scarce but with excellent quality. The grapes were well-ripened and with good balanced acidity. During the agricultural year (October 2014 to September 2015) the rainfall was 375L \/ m2 with an average temperature of 15.5\u00baC.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Organic Viticulture<\/span><\/p>

Made exclusively from organic vineyards, vins between 30 and 40 years old with argillic-loam soils which are distributed throughout Pened\u00e9s. We rely on monitoring of all vines and the preventive treatment of our land, leaving vegetable coverings to maintain humidity and sponginess of the soil, thus establishing a natural competence of the vine. We believe in sustainability, agriculture that respects the environment, treatment without applying chemical pesticides or herbicides. We perform routine checks, testing, and ripening controls before the harvest. All grapes are handpicked at the optimal time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Elaboration<\/h5>

Entered by gravity in the cellar, with low pressures we extract the must to ensure excellent raw material. Defrosted statically at low temperatures. The fermentation is taken place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16\u00baC and inoculating a selected autochthonous yeast.
Each grape variety is vinified separately after harvesting. Differentiating in groups of plots according to their geographical location.
Clarification with bentonite makes it suitable for vegans.
Based on the traditional method, the second fermentation is taken place in the bottle. Our cava Brut Reserva 2015 is aged 36 months.
The date written on the back label indicates the end of the aging and guarantees that the wine is ideal for consumption.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
