On the nose, this Oriol Rossell sparkling wine reveals all kinds of acacia and raspberries. As if that were not already impressive, red currant is also added thanks to maturation in stainless steel.

Light-footed and complex, this crisp, light and creamy sparkling wine presents itself on the palate. The finish of this sparkling wine from the wine-growing region of Catalonia, more precisely from Cava DO, ultimately convinces with a beautiful aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets from the clay- and limestone-dominated soils.

Vinification of the Oriol Rossell Cava Brut Rosé

This elegant sparkling wine from Spain is made from the grape varieties Garnacha and Pinot Noir. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Catalonia. Here, the vines sink their roots deep into clay and limestone soils. The Cava Brut Rosé is an Old World wine through and through, as this Spaniard exudes an exceptional European charm that clearly underscores the success of wines from the Old World. A considerable influence on the ripening of the harvest also comes from the fact that the Garnacha and Pinot Noir grapes thrive under the influence of a warm climate. This is reflected, among other things, in particularly well-ripened grapes and a rather high alcohol content in the wine. After the harvest, the grapes are brought to the press house as quickly as possible. There they are selected and gently crushed. This is followed by the fermentation of the base wines.
