Description

Can Vendrell Cava Brut Reserva Non Vintage

Winner of:
Silver Medal 2001, Il National Ecologic Wine Competition

Eco-Pioneers Josep Maria and Toni Albet i Noya descend from four generations of wine growers.

In 1978 they became the first winemakers in Spain to adopt organic practices. They use traditional methods of wine formation on the 13th century estate in the Penedes Region, such as Goblet pruning, while for trained vines, the Expaler or Royat System is used. The grapes are always hand harvested, then taken in small panniers to a narrow, shallow trailer ensuring that the fruit arrives safely to the cellar with no danger of crushing.

These traditional methods maintain the balance of the vines and produce healthy grapes with no alteration the aromatic components of the fruit, taste or texture.
