Gran Plus Ultra Pinot Noir is the result of the innovative spirit of Codorníu, the first winery in Spain to produce a cava exclusively from Pinot Noir. The nobility of the French variety is enhanced in a sparkling wine with intense aromas of red fruits along with subtle citrus notes that add freshness. A bold and creamy wine, easy to pair and very elegant.

Tasting notes
It presents a delicate medium-toned salmon color, with fine bubbles and a subtle crown.
On the nose, aromas of raspberry, blackberry, and strawberry flourish, enhanced by a slight citrus touch that brings a pleasant sensation of freshness to the ensemble.
On the palate, it shows a balanced profile and retains the nose's memories, nuanced by fine bubbles that promote a creamy perception, also favored by its aging in contact with the lees.
The winery
Located in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Codorníu is the oldest producer of cavas in Spain, with origins dating back five centuries. The company is the seed of one of the most important wine groups in Europe, with fifteen iconic wineries spread across Spain, Argentina, and California, as well as 3,000 hectares of owned vineyards. It is the second-largest cava producer in Spain, with an output of 45 million bottles. Until the Carlyle group acquired the majority of its shares in 2018, it was the oldest family-owned business in the country. Behind it stand 18 generations of a family of winemakers.
The modern history of Codorníu began in 1872, when Josep Raventós Fatjó, after a trip to the Champagne region, produced his first cava using three local grape varieties (macabeo, xarel.lo, and parellada) following the traditional or 'champenoise' method of double fermentation. Since then, Codorníu has been producing its cavas in a group of buildings declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument in 1976, designed in modernist style by architect Puig i Cadafalch. Codorníu exports nearly 45% of its production to almost a hundred countries worldwide.
