After twenty years of developing the export of premium family bodegas, in 2009 Javier Ruiz de Galarreta turned his focus towards finding excellent vineyards, partners and modern facilities to produce a “different” Cava. In the heart of the Penedès, he discovered the vineyards and qualities he was looking for to make such a style of wine. Harvesting takes place at night to maintain the integrity of the fruit and the base wines are fermented at cool temperatures to preserve primary aromas. Once the second fermentation has taken place in the bottle, the wines are then kept on their lees in underground cellars for a minimum of twelve months to further increase their roundness and complexity.
