Mas Macià - Cava Brut

Mas Macià is a historic Cava-producing estate owned by the renowned Bohigas family. The 300-hectare property is located in the town of Òdena in the Anoia River valley, about 45 minutes west of Barcelona. The Bohigases have a deeply-rooted winemaking history that traces back to the 13^th century. Today, the estate is owned and managed by Jordi Casanovas Bohigas and his daughter Maria who crafts Mas Macià’s captivating Cavas. The father-daughter duo ecologically farms (with organic practices) 110 hectares of vineyards planted to Catalonia’s historic and indigenous varietals of Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parallada for whites and Trepat for red. Their eco-conscious farming emphasizes low yields and meticulous vineyard management ensuring healthy, expressive fruit, while their limestone-rich soils lend freshness, tension and mineral precision to their wines. Mas Macià’s Cavas showcase their revered terroir and varietal character while exhibiting a tremendous balance of vibrance and richness with refined mousse, astounding purity and elegance.

Mas Macià’s Cava Brut emits a pale gold color with a steady stream of tiny bubbles. The nose offers a vibrant medley of aromas: citrus-zested white orchard fruits are marked with notes of white flowers, toasted brioche and crushed chalk. The Cava Brut possesses a fine, slightly creamy mousse which helps the waves of mouthwatering flavors cascade across the palate. White peach and green apples are interlaced with hints of lemon zest and infused by an electric acidity and underlying minerality. From the moment it touches your lips, this wine is crisp and clean, exhibiting exceptional balance all the way through its fresh, crystalline finish. Wonderful as an aperitif, though this will shine with a platter of raw or fried seafood.
