The Torelló family has lived and worked on the Can Martí estate for nearly 630 years, 33 kilometres from Barcelona, in the hills of Penedès. They started making cava in the 1950s, and in recent decades they have become one of the region’s leading wineries, following the strictest quality standards. The Special Edition 2023 was created as a member of the Corpinnat association – from hand-harvested grapes grown in the winery’s own organic vineyards, bottle-fermented and aged for three years. A blend of Xarel·lo, Macabeo and Parellada. After harvesting, the grapes are pressed within 15 minutes to preserve all their freshness. The bubbles are fine and persistent, and the colour is a ripe gold. On the nose, it exudes green apple, white flowers and a hint of almond. The palate is cool and precise: brioche, quince, mint and a touch of fennel, with a touch of salinity. A Brut style with 4 g/l of dosage – a pure, elegant cava with a long finish.
