Pedregosa Blanc de Millésimé

Pedregosa Blanc de Millésimé: organic Brut Nature Reserva Cava

Pedregosa Blanc de Millésimé is a Cava from Castelo de Pedregosa in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, Catalonia. It belongs to the DO Cava appellation and combines a blanc de noirs style with two traditional white grapes. If you are looking for a dry, organic sparkling wine with bottle ageing, this is an interesting expression to explore.

Grape varieties and blanc de noirs production

The producer confirms a blend of 65% red Grenache, 20% Xarel·lo and 15% Macabeo. Although the main grape is red, it is vinified as white wine, with limited contact between juice and grape skins. This is what blanc de noirs means: a white wine made from dark-skinned grapes. It should not be confused with rosé Cava.

Reserva ageing: 20 months on lees

The official winery information specifies 20 months of bottle ageing and the Reserva classification. Under current DO Cava rules, a Reserva spends at least 18 months ageing. This wine is also described as organic. Its Brut Nature designation means that no sugar is added after disgorgement; natural residual sugar can amount to up to 3 grams per litre.

Aromas, serving and food pairings

Castelo de Pedregosa describes stone-fruit and citrus notes, freshness and fine, integrated bubbles, with a distinct wine-like character from the Grenache. Enjoy it cool in a tulip-shaped glass. As suggestions rather than rules, consider pairing it with seafood, grilled fish, rice dishes, savoury snacks or dishes with a richer texture.
