This Cavas Singulares project was born once the Cavas de Paraje project was consolidated. The production of these cavas is carried out in an artisanal way in the Celler Jaume micro-winery, located in the place where the first Codorniu cavas were made. They are born from small batches intended for learning, both at the vineyard and production level. If the Celler Jaume is a tribute to the origin of Codorniu, the Codorníu Ars collecta Cavas Singulares La Plana is a tribute to the eternally misunderstood parellada who refuses to accept that she cannot age well.

It is a very gastronomic cava due to its delicate profile. It pairs well with warm salads, lightly seasoned white meats, seafood or fish-based rice dishes, and white meats with mild sauces.

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

Night harvest. We perform a gentle pressing, followed by fermentation at around 16ºC. Bottling is done to carry out the second fermentation.

It is in the bottle where the fine bubbles of this cava are formed and integrated. It undergoes aging on its lees for a minimum of 60 months. Only 1,438 bottles have been produced.

Vineyard - Viticulture

This Parellada comes from Pla de Manlleu, in the Baix Penedès region, from an estate located at 500 meters above sea level.

This bold cava proves that this variety is capable of producing exceptional long-aged cavas. In this case, it reveals an impressive aromatic profile. 2019 was a completely atypical year. Initially, everything pointed to a low-yield harvest (kg/ha) due to the lack of winter rainfall, but that wasn’t the case: in November, a sufficient amount of rain fell, leading to a stable and normalized production. As for temperatures, a similar situation occurred. Although there were a few extreme heat spikes at the beginning of summer that stressed the vines, the harvest date ultimately fell within the average of the past 20 years. The health of the grapes was impeccable, and ripening was gradual, which allowed us to work with each variety at the perfect time to bring out its full potential.
