Description

  • Melon
  • Clean citrus
  • Peach 
  • Long finish

These Iberian cava aces are in fact the world’s top-selling sparkling producer. A slightly less dry (but still dry) version of Freixenet's world famous Cordon Negro label – and it is totally delicious. Mid-lemon green colour. Clean citrus on the nose, backed by soft fruit aromas of peach and melon. Bright and fruity with an essence of peach, melon and candied citrus notes, culminating in a long, flavourful and clean crisp finish. Very well balanced and fresh and light on the palate.

The Extra is made by blending three local grapes: the Macabeo, Xarel-lo and Parellada.

After a controlled temperature fermentation (12ºC) in stainless steel, a blend ismade with the three grape varieties. The wine is bottled and yeast is added to setoff the second fermentation. The wine remains on its lees for a minimum maturation period of nine months.
