## About this wine

Anna Serra launched her eponymous winemaking project in 2019 in Pla del Penedès. Having gained experience with historic estates like Albet i Noya and co-founding Mas Candí and La Salada, Anna returned to her family's ancestral biodynamic vineyards to craft minimal-intervention sparkling wines. Euga is crafted from the single vineyard parcel 'Coscona' in Subirats, featuring old vines planted in 1973 in deep calcareous clay soils.

## Interesting facts

- Sourced from a single vineyard parcel planted in 1973 called Coscona.
- Made using the ancestral method (Pét-Nat) with zero added sulfites.
- Extremely limited production of just 3,000 bottles for the 2022 vintage.

## Food pairing

The high acidity, chalky minerality, and fine carbonation naturally cut through delicate seafood fats, salty ocean brine, and creamy goat cheeses without overwhelming subtle flavors.

## Wine making process

Hand-harvested from 50-year-old vines, grapes are fully destemmed and undergo cold skin maceration before spontaneous fermentation using native yeasts. Fermentation finishes in the bottle following the Método Ancestral (Pét-Nat) approach. The wine ages on fine lees in bottle for 7 to 9 months before disgorgement without added dosage or added sulfites.
