Titiana de Can Matons Chardonnay
Novelty
P8145
The surprise of aging. This sparkling wine is the result of a precise selection of Chardonnay (64%) and Pinot Noir (36%) from the village of Alella and a long aging. Production of 4,000-6,000 bottles.
As always, for Can Matons, the most important thing is the origin, the vineyard. Not the method of elaboration. In this case, the vineyards, very close to the sea, give us perfect clusters to make an excellent sparkling wine that goes out of the ordinary: a gastronomic wine with bubbles. A terroir sparkling wine that claims its Alella origin.

The Winery
The winery takes the name of the historic farmhouse (18th century) that stands among its vineyards in Santa María de Martorelles (Vallès Oriental). The common denominator of the wines is the native variety of the area (Pansa blanca) and the uniqueness of the vineyards, all of them historical and, in some cases, planted before the phylloxera. Another common denominator is the care of the vine so that the wine is the most honest expression of the terroir where it was born.
Elaboration - Vinification
Plot selection.
Pressing of the grapes and fermentation at a controlled temperature of 17ºC in barrels of different sizes of fine grain French oak. The winter was normal and dry, while the spring was rainy and cold, which delayed bud break and fruit ripening. The September rains also contributed to this fact, making the harvest significantly later compared to recent years. The wines are fresh, aromatic and elegant.
Vineyard - Viticulture
Alella is characterized by a sandy textured soil called "sauló".
The plantation density is 3,700 vines/Ha with a planting frame of 2.2 x 1.2 meters. The vines are trained on trellises and we carry out a short pruning. The vineyards are located in the municipality of Alella. The Chardonnay vineyard is dominated by the rawest saulo, generating a very concentrated grape. The Pinot is grown in a plot where there is also the presence of red clay allowing to maintain the freshness and volume in the grapes.
