General Information
Ars Collecta Paraje Calificado La Fideuera 2014 is the result of an early harvest grape, collected in mid-August, which embodies the highest quality standards and great gustatory and aromatic potential. This cava, La Fideuera 2009, is characterized by an artisanal production process using xare·lo grapes from Alt Penedés, sourced from vines over 25 years old located in calcareous and noble soils, which provided the sparkling wine with structure and great richness.
The winemaking process is extremely meticulous due to the sensitivity of the xare·lo grape to oxidation. It begins with the selection of the highest quality fruits from the Paraje Calificado, harvested at night to prevent deterioration, and manually collected in small boxes. Once in the winery, the grapes are re-selected, cooled, and pressed in a pneumatic press, where the must ferments at 17º C. Subsequently, the classification of the grapes that will form the final coupage of the Ars Collecta Paraje La Fideuera cava is carried out.
Excellent work in viticulture and winemaking resulted in an outstanding cava aged under the shelter of the thick walls of what was the first cava of the Codorníu winery, for over 90 months at 14º C. From this jewel of the Alto Penedés, only 300 bottles are produced, offering great richness, good acidity, and elegance.
Ars Collecta Paraje Calificado La Fideuera 2014 is a sparkling wine of excellent aromatic intensity, with diverse gastronomic possibilities thanks to its versatility. It is ideal for pairing with seafood, suquet, stews, or rockfish, as well as with seasoned meats, game, or stewed dishes. This sparkling wine, with its elegant, delicate, and exciting bubbles, under the D.O. Cava, is also perfect to enjoy on its own and savor all its nuances.
