The Winery
The history of Codorníu is the story of 18 generations of a vine growing family. In 1872, Josep Raventós made the first bottle of cava, applying the traditional method to a blend of the grape varieties of Penedès: Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada. Codorníu reflects the history, tradition, passion and expertise of a family winery with more than 450 years of history, which today continues to maintain its leading position in the production of quality wines and cavas. His cellars in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia were declared a National Historic Artistic Monument in 1976, as one of the key works of Catalan modernism, created by Puig i Cadafalch.
Elaboration - Vinification
We begin by planning the optimum moment for harvesting the red varietals, seeking a good level of colour in the skins as well as considerable acidity and a moderate alcohol grade.
Once the bunches are destemmed we let the berries macerate, leaving the must in contact with the husks for 3 to 4 hours. The rosé coloured must then ferments at a temperature of 15°-17°C. The musts
are then blended and the wine is bottled along with the liqueur de tirage. The bottles are stored in our underground cellars (at a constant temperature of 17°C) where the second fermentation takes place,
followed by a period of aging in contact with the lees of the yeasts.AlI in alI, the wine is stored for a minimum of 9 months in the winery, after which it is decanted and disgorged. A dose of expedition liqueur is then added which determines the cavas residual sugar content. Finally, the bottle is capped with a cork closure.
Vineyard - Viticulture
The grapes used to make Codorníu Clásico Rosé come from vineyards selected by our Winegrowing and Enology teams in the Penedés region, where these varietais attain their full typicity.
Our winegrowing team works ah year round in order to constantly improve crops, monitor ripening, decide on the best moments for harvesting and make sure that the grapes enter our winery in optimum condition.
