Freixenet Brut Carta Nevada Cava Spain Sparkling Wine

Product Information

• Product Details

  

  The first bottle of Freixenet was released in 1914, the creation of a couple named Pedro Ferrer & Dolores Sala who were both from winemaking families. In 1889, Pedro Ferrer married Dolores Sala, whose family had been making wine at their Casa Sala property since 1861. Pedro's nickname was "El Freixenet", named after his family's ranch "La Freixeneda", which means ash tree grove in Catalan. Dolores' keen interest in the winemaking process was easily complemented by Pedro's business savvy and sense of community. Their marriage coincided with the arrival of the Phylloxera plague in Spain, which wiped out most of Europe's vineyards. Far from being deterred, the couple replanted their decimated land with white varietals to make sparkling wine. In 1914, the first bottles were released with Pedro's childhood nickname on the label. Freixenet had been born. Freixenet Carta Nevada is a prestigious sparkling wine that offers a delightful combination of fruitiness, creaminess, and toasty notes. It displays a pale yellow color with a steady stream of bubbles, forming an elegant mousse. On the nose, it reveals aromas of ripe apples, pears, and citrus fruits, accompanied by hints of toasted almonds and brioche. The palate showcases a harmonious and well-balanced experience, with flavors of orchard fruits, zesty citrus notes, and a delicate touch of honey. The long and satisfying finish leaves a lingering impression of fruitiness, making Freixenet Carta Nevada a refined and elegant choice for celebratory occasions or as an aperitif.
