Villa Conchi Cava Brut Seleccion

Winemaker Villa Conchi on the winery

“Villa Conchi is named after Conchi, the matriarch of the Ruiz de Galarreta family, and is a tribute to her love of elegant sparkling wines. Cava has a distinctive status as a Spanish DO: unlike many other appellations, its production is not limited to one continuous wine region. It can come from several officially designated areas across Spain. We make our Cava in Catalonia, where the tradition of sparkling wine has been part of the region for generations. We combine local grape varieties with Chardonnay, aiming for freshness, finesse and balance.”

And on Cava, Spain

“Our Brut Selección comes from Catalonia and is a blend of Xarel-lo, Parellada, Macabeo and a small proportion of Chardonnay. The grapes are harvested at night to preserve their freshness and aromas. After each variety has fermented separately, the second fermentation takes place in the bottle using the traditional method. The Cava then spends at least twelve months ageing on its fine lees. This gives the wine its delicate mousse and subtle toasted notes, alongside fruity aromas. Fresh and elegant, with a rounded, lingering finish.”
