Cava Brut Nature 2022

Cava Brut Nature by Jane Ventura is produced in the Penedès region of Catalonia, Spain, a renowned area for traditional method sparkling wines known as Cava.

This Cava is typically crafted from a blend of traditional grape varieties used in Cava production:

• Macabeo
• Xarel·lo
• Parellada

The wine is made using the traditional method (Método Tradicional), involving a secondary fermentation in the bottle to develop fine bubbles and complexity. Key steps include:

• Hand-harvesting of grapes from selected vineyards
• Primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures
• Blending of base wines to achieve desired profile
• Secondary fermentation in bottle with addition of yeast and sugar (tirage)
• Extended aging on lees to enhance texture and flavor complexity
• Disgorgement without dosage, resulting in Brut Nature dryness

Cava Brut Nature by Jane Ventura offers a fresh and elegant sensory profile:

• Appearance: Pale straw yellow with fine, persistent bubbles
• Aroma: Delicate notes of green apple, citrus zest, white flowers, and subtle hints of toasted bread
• Palate: Crisp acidity balanced with mineral nuances, flavors of lemon, green apple, and a clean, dry finish
• Texture: Light to medium-bodied with a creamy mousse

This dry and refreshing Cava pairs well with a variety of dishes, including:

• Seafood such as oysters, shrimp, and grilled fish
• Light tapas including olives, almonds, and cured ham
• Fresh salads with citrus or vinaigrette dressings
• Soft cheeses like goat cheese or fresh mozzarella
• Appetizers and light poultry dishes
