Roger Goulart Demi Sec Millésimé
Roger Goulart Gran Reserva Josep Valls is an organic cava made with predominantly Xarel-lo and Chardonnay from vineyards in the Anoia and Foix river basin. Fermentation and aging for over 30 months takes place at a depth of 30 meters, resulting in a pale yellow cava with fine bubbles, aromas of fleshy fruits and creamy hints of pastry. In the mouth, it is voluminous with a lively acidity, standing out for its elegance and persistence on the finish.
Characteristics of the vineyard
Grapes from the historical area of Cava, south of Barcelona, in the so-called basin of the Anoia and Foix rivers. This area is delimited by the Sierra Litoral mountain range that touches the Mediterranean, the Sierra Prelitoral de Mediona-Pontons and the Montserrat massif, orographic elements that give the enclave a special microclimate suitable for the production of the best grapes for the production of Cava. Vineyards in different types of terrain located at medium-high altitudes, between 300 and 700 meters above sea level, with crop yields of between 6,000 and 10,000 Kg/Ha, depending on the varieties and characteristics of the terrain. We have always worked the vineyard with sustainable practices that respect the environment, and in recent years we have been promoting its conversion to organic.
Winemaking characteristics
Traditional blend of Penedès varieties where Xarel-lo has a special predominance. The grapes are harvested separately, each variety at the optimum moment of ripening, and always in the early hours of the morning to take advantage of the cold of the night, which guarantees freshness and minimizes oxidation. Prior to pressing, the mass of grapes is cooled to avoid loss of aromas. With very low pressing yields, we obtain a fine, clear must that is racked prior to fermentation at low temperature for more than 10 days and always with the help of selected yeasts. The tirage marks the beginning of the second fermentation in the bottle and subsequent aging in cellars located at a depth of 30 meters, at a constant temperature of 14ºC throughout the year.
Tasting notes
Pale yellow colored cava with greenish reflections, clean, bright, with a good release of fine bubbles and slight crown formation on the surface. On the nose, very fresh, with intense notes of fresh white fruit, slightly floral and a background of hints of yeast and bread. The palate is sweet due to its high sugar content, but with a lively acidity that makes it voluminous. Lingering finish with very fruity mouth notes and hints of brioix. It is recommended to be consumed at a temperature between 6 ºC and 8 ºC and the use of ice buckets to maintain the temperature during service.
