Description
Cava Palau Gazo Brut is a high-quality sparkling wine, also known by its Cava DO designation. It is the flagship of the Palau Winery range of wines, which are rapidly gaining an ever-increasing reputation in the international and Spanish wine scene. The intense, fragrant character and interesting fruity notes of this wine are due primarily to the mineral-rich clay soil and the Catalonian sun, which contribute to the growth of full-bodied, curly grapes. It is this sweet, mellow flavor that captivates the palate and makes it the perfect wine to accompany any event, from the most sophisticated to the most special, without neglecting elegance. Cava Palau Gazo Brut is produced in the southwest of Barcelona, in Penedes, by Manuel Sancio and his daughters, who have managed to increase the value of the family business over time thanks to a constant eye on the future and the creation of quality products. The Cava is created by crossing 10% Chardonnay, 30% Macabeo, 20% Parellada, and 40% Xarel-loal grape varieties. To produce this wine, particular attention is paid to the agricultural process from growth to harvest, where the grapes are harvested mechanically. Once destemmed have been carried out, the grapes are pressed and cooled. After the must has been selected, it is clarified by gravity and finally fermented in bottles, as per tradition, inside the caves adjacent to the company that give the wine its name.
