NV Cava Brut Seleccion, +&+, Spain
Catalonia, Spain
This Cava is made by the prestigious, Bodega Pinord in the Penedès region of North-East Spain which is between Barcelona and Tarragona in Catalonia.
Their award-winning Cava ‘+&+’ stands for ‘More and More’, which represents the unparalleled drinkability of this crisp and refreshing sparkling wine.
It is made from 3 native grape varieties, Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada. Xarello, sometimes hyphenated as Xarel-lo, is a light-skinned native Catalan grape, noted for bringing high acidity to the blend, an essential characteristic in sparkling wine, along with refreshing citrusy flavours. Macabeo is a synonym for Viura and produces fresh, floral and aromatic wines, while Parellada flourishes in higher altitude sites where it retains acidity and brings complementary notes of blossom and green apple
Whats in the bottle

The story of Bodegas Pinord started more than 150 years ago, when the Tetas family began to make wines on their estate at Sant Cugat Sesgarrigues. In 1942, Josep Maria Tetas created the current winery in Vilafranca del Penedès, just four kilometres from the original estate. Josep was an inquisitive and enterprising man; he produced the first pearl wine in Spain. Since then, the estate has grown to be one of the most prestigious in Penedès and the family name has become inseparably linked to premium Penedès wine. Currently run by two generations of the Tetas family, they have the facilities to produce over five million bottles a year, while retaining the family integrity and quality standards for which they have become globally well-known.
The carefully selected grapes were fermented with selected yeasts at controlled temperatures of 18 to 20°C. Fermentation took place in stainless steel vats to obtain purity of fruit and maximum aromas. Vinified according to the Traditional Method; the secondary fermentation took place in bottles, which were stored horizontally to maximise contact with the lees, imparting complexity and volume to the resulting wine. Disgorging took place after 12 months.
