WHO CAN CONTRACT
Codorniu's origins date back to 1551, when Jaume Codorníu already had presses and barrels of wine. It is the seventeenth oldest family business in the world, with more than 450 years of history. In 1659 the Codorníu family joined the Raventós family. In 1872 Josep Raventós produced the first sparkling wine using the traditional French method, using the traditional varieties of Penedès: Macabeo, Xarel.lo and Parellada.
In 1885 Manel Raventós decided that Codorníu would dedicate himself exclusively to the production of quality sparkling wines. Since then, all generations have been dedicated to the cultivation of the vine and the production of sparkling wines.
Elaboration:
Chardonnay grapes come from different plots, with different soils and exposures; the purpose is to achieve a mixture with several registers, which provide us with texture, body, freshness and sweetness. This differentiation allows us to achieve a wine with exceptional qualities while maintaining the expression of the fruit.
The grapes arrive at the winery at night, at low temperatures, to preserve the aromas of the variety and avoid unwanted oxidation. An immediate pressing is carried out and then, during 24 to 48 hours, proceed to a natural clarification at low temperature. Once the must is cleaned, it is transferred to a stainless steel tank with a cold system to carry out a controlled fermentation between 16º to 18º C. After the alcoholic fermentation, the different tanks are mixed according to the winemaker's indication to achieve the final drink.
Un blanc amb una suau dolçor final degut al raim moscatell que incorpora. Molt gustós.
Agradarà molt als que els hi agrada que el vi no sigui massa sec.
(Semblant al "Viña Esmeralda" de Torres encara que aquest es amb base Gewurstraimer i el Codorniu es amb Chardonnay)
