A blend of barrel aged Chardonnay with Xarel-lo. UVAE signifies the grape in Latin celebrating the fruitful relationship embracing man and earth. Indeed, the cava for special occasions. Yeasty and toasty nose with fresh mint and allspice notes. Powerful yet velvety body with fine foam. Hauntingly beautiful with a lingering finish.
The Rimarts wines consistently rank among the best cavas in Spain according to Guia Penin.
Chardonnay Xarel-lo
Traditional Method
Hand riddled and left for 30 months on the lees before disgorgment without the benefit of freezing Each bottled is numbered with the date of disgorgement.
Rimarts is a small family winery run by two brothers, Ernest and Ricard; rather than one of the large cava factories which dominate the market with volume and advertising. As an artisanal product, all Rimarts cava is made by traditional methods and by hand. Either Ernest or Ricard is intimately involved with each step of the process. The expert elaboration commences by selecting only the best free run juice from the different grape varietals that go into each blend. Extended aging on the lees for much longer than the legal minimum ensures exceptional smoothness and complexity. Riddling and disgorgement are done entirely by hand without the aid of ice. The hand disgorgement is really something to observe and seldom done anywhere else; Ernest and Ricard have the scars on their hands to prove it. Rimarts is the driest and full-bodied of cavas; genuinely it is own unique category of sparkling wine. They consistently rank among the top in the most important yearly book on Spanish wines, GUÍA PEÑÍN.
