D.O. Cava

Marrugat Brut Selección

Essence of the wine

Josep Mª Tetas wanted to pay a special tribute to his wife, Antonia Marrugat, by creating a brand dedicated to long-aged cavas. This is how Marrugat was born, a line of cavas that embodies our family’s dedication and passion for crafting excellent products. With Antonia’s surname as a symbol, MARRUGAT cavas represent elegance, patience, and tradition, standing as a benchmark of quality and distinction in the world of cava.

Variety

Xarel·lo 60%, Macabeo 25%, Parellada 15%

Terroir

Unique plots of limestone and clay soils, combined with excellent sun exposure and natural ventilation, create ideal conditions for winemaking. The significant temperature variations between day and night enhance flavour concentration while preserving the natural acidity of the native grape varieties—both essential for crafting top-quality Cava.

Winemaking Process

Each grape variety is harvested and vinified separately. After manual harvesting, the grapes undergo a careful pressing to obtain the free-run juice. This juice is then subjected to static settling for 24-48 hours before undergoing its first fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Subsequently, the blending takes place, and using the traditional method, the second fermentation occurs in the bottle. The bottles rest in underground cellars for a minimum of 15 months before clarification and disgorging.

Appearance

Pale straw yellow with green and golden reflections. Fine, firm bubbles rise energetically, forming a perfect string of pearls.

Aroma

A delicate, spring-like aroma where citrus notes and orange blossom merge, rounded off by hints of almond and toasted bread.

Taste

A perfect balance of freshness and refinement, with well-integrated bubbles that accompany its fruity flavor with subtle aging notes.

Serving temperature

Food pairing and serving

Perfect for an informal dinner with friends or a family gathering. Enjoy it at brunch with a Caesar salad, quiches, or eggs Benedict. Ideal as an aperitif to pair with fine tapas, cured meats, or tempura. To finish your meal, it pairs wonderfully with puff pastries, tea biscuits, or wafer rolls.
