Personage: PERE VENTURA GRAN VINTAGE PARAJE CALIFICADO CAN BAS is a cava that tells of its place of origin, a small area of vineyards qualified for their particular soil conditions and a microclimate that distinguishes them from the rest of the vines grown around them. GRAN VINTAGE represents Paraje Can Bas: the identity of this cava comes from its origin, from the series of variables (climate, geology, soil and biome) that determine the expression of the grapes and give a unique must that is the reflection and interpretation of this vintage. The uniqueness of the terroir, as well as the quality criteria of its production and aging, create a cava with distinctive characteristics. It also draws its added value and identity from its history and the age of the soil.
As the name suggests, GRAN VINTAGE is a vintage cava representing the life cycle of the vine of a particular year. Emblematic, elegant and of distinguished character, its production is limited and it is only made when the grapes are of the highest sensory and healthy quality, maintaining the highest quality standards set for this product.
Tasting note: GRAN VINTAGE PARAJE CALIFICADO CAN BAS 2015
Bright gold with amber flecks. It has a very fine bubble which forms slow and persistent strings, indicating its long aging and the perfect integration of carbonic acid. The aromatic elegance is evident on the nose: clean, fruity, citrus notes and hints of fresh almonds and walnuts. Among the strong points are its freshness, its vinosity and its elegance on the palate; It has a rich, generous but delicate bouquet and very good acidity. It's creamy and full, with notes of fresh fruit, lemon curd, canned pears, raw yolks, maple syrup and pastries. This cava has an intense taste and a velvety sensation in the mouth thanks to the perfect balance between acidity and bubbles.
« Discreet and elegant aromas, subtle tones of honey and herbs, with dried notes. Quite firm and rich, with a nice balancing acidity, and a slightly mineral finish. Drink 2018 – 2027 » Pedro Ballesteros MW (Decanter, December 2018).
Enjoy: Alone or accompanying unforgettable moments, GRAN VINTAGE goes perfectly with the most delicate and refined cuisine. Its complex taste and well-balanced acidity make it a perfect pairing with succulent meat and fatty fish stews. Also try it with scallops, duck rillette with orange and carrot jam, or even half-cooked liver with caramelized pear.
