2019 Avinyo Reserva Brut Nature Cava Penedès

Notes

Avinyó is located in the Catalan countryside in the remote village of Avinyonet del Penedès, and the Esteve family traces their history to 1597 in the same farmhouse, Can Fontanals. Their spirit of innovation and respect for traditions, driven by an undercurrent of constant self-improvement and a relentless drive for quality, are the defining characteristics that set Avinyó Cava apart. In 2022, Avinyó earned the prestigious designation of Elaborador Integral (integral producer), a new certification signifying that Avinyó is a top producer who not only grows all of their own grapes organically, but also vinifies all of their wines. This designation has similarities with Récoltant-Manipulant in Champagne. Only 14 producers are designated Elaborador Integral, which is held to strict rules established by the Regulatory Board of the DO Cava. Avinyó Brut Nature is crafted from 70% Xarel-lo, 25% Macabeo, and 5% Parellada, all from organically grown old vines. The wine ages for a minimum of 24 months on the lees and has no dosage before bottling.
