Sparkling

Inicial

Macabeo, Xarel·lo, Chardonnay

Fresh, fine fruit, and elegant. Low alcohol coexists with depth, complexity, and freshness.

ABV	11.0%
Vinification	Whole-bunch pressing with low yields and slow fermentations at very low temperatures. 15% of the Macabeo closest to the winery was vinified in 500 L Allier oak barrels, along with part of the Xarel·lo from the ‘Corral’ plot.
Élevage	Aged on fine lees for 8 months in small tanks and barrels, until two weeks before.
Vineyard Soil	Limestone and clay, covered by vegetation. Vineyard Plots: Macabeos de Montargull, Corral, Oliverà, José
Harvest	Hand-harvested in 18 kg boxes with overnight refrigeration to 6 °C before pressing.
Tasting Notes	Fresh, fine fruit with the rustic edge that characterises Inicial. Low alcohol coexists with depth, complexity and freshness. The addition of less than 2 g/L of sugar in the dosage is virtually imperceptible — a level that, in other regions, would be classified as Brut Nature, though we choose not to use this terminology.
Cellaring	Inicial has a notable aging capacity, but is ready to be enjoyed from the moment of disgorgement. Store in a cool place at a stable temperature.
Additional Notes	The orange-toned label recalls the characteristic color of the soil. Its central symbol is inspired by the 11th-century Romanesque monastery of Sant Sebastià dels Gorgs, located next to the estate and a historic source of viticultural inspiration in the area.
