PERE VENTURA GRAN VINTAGE the favourite sparkling wine at the Institute Masters of Wine in Seattle
"This Cava was a real favourite among all the sparkling wines we tasted"
On 18 February, the Cava Designation of Origin attended a full day about sparkling wines at the Institute of Masters of Wine in Seattle. Charles Curtis MW, Nick Jackson MW and Mary Gorman-McAdams MW presented “It’s all about the Bubbles“, an exclusive seminar on the world’s most prestigious sparkling wines for more than 90 professional Master of Wine Level 2 students.
On this occasion, two representative types of Cava were presented: a Guarda Superior, and a second Cava, representing the finest Spanish sparkling wine: a Cava de Guarda Superior de Paraje Calificado.
Among the world’s sparkling wines in the extensive tasting of a total of 13 references, PERE VENTURA GRAN VINTAGE PARAJE CALIFICADO CAN BAS stood out as the favourite. It was described by the professionals as:
“High quality bubbles; tasty, long, complex and with attractive notes of fruit on the palate”.
“A very good example of a balanced, fresh, complex sparkling wine ”.
“This Cava was a real favourite among all the sparkling wines we tasted”
PERE VENTURA GRAN VINTAGE PARAJE CALIFICADO CAN BAS is a cava that tells of the place it comes from, a small area of vineyards qualified after their special soil conditions and a micro climate that sets them apart from the rest of the vines grown around them. GRAN VINTAGE represents the Paraje Can Bas: the identity of this cava comes from its origin, the series of variables (climate, geology, soil and biome) that determine the expression of the grapes and yield a unique must that is the reflection and interpretation of that vintage. The uniqueness of the terroir, together with quality criteria of its production and ageing, create a cava with distinctive characteristics. It also draws value added and identity from its history and the age of the soil.
