## About this wine

Avinyó Sublim Brut Rosé Cava 2020 is a single-varietal rosé sparkling wine made from 100% estate-grown Pinot Noir grapes. The producer, Avinyó Caves, is an 'Elaborador Integral,' meaning all stages of production occur on their estate in the Cava DO, specifically from their Finca La Fassina vineyard. The Esteve family has a long history in the region, dating back to 1597, and is committed to organic farming practices. The 2020 vintage was shaped by a combination of rainfall and drought, resulting in a balanced harvest.

## Wine making process

Avinyó Sublim Brut Rosé Cava 2020 is produced using 100% Pinot Noir grapes harvested at night. The grapes are gently pressed, and the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, a process required for Cava production. It is then aged for a minimum of 18 months on its lees before disgorgement. Avinyó practices certified organic viticulture on their estate.
