Geology and Soil:
Gran Vintage Brut Gran Reserva comes from only two parcels. The old woman and The Secret. Its old vines give us more terroir and complexity; balance and experience.
The vines from these vineyards are cultivated in the old way and glass pruned as required by winemaking tradition. The average yield they offer is 5.500kg / ha, well below the 12.000 kg / ha authorized by the DO Cava. The grapes are harvested by hand and subjected to a careful selection in all Pere Ventura cavas, viticulture scrupulously respects the parameters of sustainability and respect for the environment.
Gran Vinatage Brut Gran Reserva is a limited edition each that is only made when the vintages are exceptional.
Pairing
We start from the premise that it can be taken at any time, at any time, always. Alone or accompanying the unique moments of your life.
VINTAGE is a gastronomic cava. Accentuates the flavor of raw seafood and fish. Thus, it pairs with oysters, lobster, sushi and sashimis. But also with products as Spanish as 100% pure acorn ham. It is opulent with fish or white meat stews with exotic flavors. Very suitable to accompany rice dishes or pasta dishes prepared with truffle. Ideal with Foie Gras mi cuit.
Preparation:
Each variety is vinified separately. A pneumatic press is used at a maximum pressure of 0.5 bar. Fractionation of the must in flower to 52% followed by a static settling of between 24 and 48 hours. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, at a controlled temperature of 15 ° C. Once the winemaking process is finished, the two varieties are combined with a peaceful clarification; tartaric stabilization and final filtering of the base wine. It goes through the second fermentation and aging in the bottle following the Traditional Method.
PERE VENTURA VINTAGE GRAN RESERVA BRUT is a contemporary classic: a cava with an international profile with the attributes of long aging produced following the Traditional Method and Brut type. It is a vintage cava that settles in the memory for its elegance, complexity and strong character on the palate. The Chardonnay, blended with the Xarel lo, makes the difference in the tasting, providing creaminess and breadth in the mouth. VINTAGE is a deep and delicate gastronomic cava; fresh and balanced aromatic and taste expression.

Cava is synonymous with excellence, and achieving it requires genuineness. This is guaranteed by the entire production process which, at the same time, offers different types of product -according to the aging and its sugar content-, which make Cava one of the most versatile drinks in the world.
To the already guaranteed quality that the traditional method implies, a more demanding classification is added with the introduction of the categories of Cava de Guarda and Guarda Superior. All this to better identify the origin and traceability of each of our little jewels and to more clearly identify the Cava segments according to their aging. A unique classification that places DO Cava at the forefront of quality sparkling wines that follow the traditional method.
Knowing its categories is entering a world of flavors and history... The one that gives each bottle the aging in the cellar. The months of storage are the ones that will decide these categories, from the Cava de Guarda (minimum 9 months) to those of Guarda Superior, with a rest period of more than 18 months (RESERVE), 30 months (GREAT RESERVE) or those valued Cavas from Paraje Calificado, aged for more than 36 months.
In short, a multitude of options to enjoy, and a lot, not only of the quality of the Cava but of its infinite pairing options.
Versatility multiplies when we talk about the different types of Cava allowed based on added sugar. Thus, in each category we can also choose based on the type. From Brut Nature (without added sugar) to Sweet Cava -ideal for a pleasant after-dinner meal- we have endless options that include Brut, Extra Brut, Semi Dry and Dry. The Gran Reserva and Cava de Paraje categories are only allowed to offer the Brut types (Brut Nature, Extra Brut and Brut).
