This Cavas Singulares project was born once the Cavas de Paraje initiative had been consolidated. These cavas are crafted in an artisanal way at the micro-winery Celler Jaume, located where the first Codorníu cavas were produced. They originate from small batches destined for learning, both in vineyard management and in winemaking. If Celler Jaume is a tribute to Codorníu’s origins, then Codorníu Ars Collecta Cavas Singulares Serralada is an homage to this extraordinarily rare variety in monovarietal cavas.

It is a very food-friendly cava due to its fruity character. It pairs well with fruit-based salads, meats cooked with mild sauces, salt-crusted pork loin, and rice dishes with white meats.

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

This Macabeo comes from the Alt Penedès, from a plot that is not rocky but is stony.

This bold cava proves that this variety is capable of producing great long-aged cavas. In this case, it expresses itself with the fullness of ripe fruit. During the 2018 harvest, we returned to the usual grape-picking dates. It was a humid year, which allowed the vines to recover after two years of concerning drought. Phenological development was slow due to moderate temperatures during spring and summer, and the late August rains encouraged berry development. The health of the grapes was excellent.

Vineyard - Viticulture

Night harvest. We perform a gentle pressing, followed by fermentation at around 16ºC. The wine is then bottled 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 70 months. Only 740 bottles have been produced.
