Ramon Canals MARTA Cava Ecological and Vegan
A sustainable and refined Spanish Cava
Discover Ramon Canals MARTA, a 100% organic and vegan cava produced in the prestigious Penedès region of Spain. This festive sparkling wine is a true experience for the senses, born from a harmonious blend of indigenous grape varieties: Xarel.lo, Macabeo and Parellada. Each variety is grown in organically certified vineyards, located at different altitudes and with specific climatic conditions, giving them unique characteristics.
Vineyard information and terroir
The vineyards, fully certified as ecological, are located in the El Penedès region and belong to the DO Cava appellation. We distinguish sub-regions: the Upper Penedès, where the Parellada grape thrives at an altitude of 315 metres, and the Central Penedès where the Xarel.lo (130 metres) and Macabeo (280 metres) grow. The Mediterranean climate, combined with clay-loam soils that provide optimal drainage and moisture retention, results in grapes of exceptional quality. The average annual rainfall is around 465 litres per square metre.
Harvest and Vinification Process
The harvest is entirely manual. The Macabeo is picked in early September, followed by Xarel.lo in mid-September and Parellada in late September. The carefully selected grapes are softly pressed using a pneumatic press, using only the best juice, known as the “flower must”,. Each grape variety undergoes separate fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The cuvée is then composed of the three specifically named grape varieties, in a perfectly balanced blend.
Second fermentation and maturation
After the primary fermentation, the blend undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle. This takes place during the first week of January at a temperature between 15 and 18°C. A prolonged maturation of over 24 months in the bottle contributes to the complex and refined flavour that characterises MARTA Cava. This careful process results in a sparkling wine with fine and persistent bubbles.
Tasting notes and taste experience
The MARTA Cava presents a pale yellow colour with continuously rising, fine bubbles. On the nose, you will discover fresh aromas of white fruit and citrus, enriched with subtle nuances that develop during maturation. The palate is balanced and flavourful with a creamy texture and a pleasant, refreshing finish. The carbonation is perfect. This cava is ideal as an aperitif or with a variety of dishes: from seafood and rice dishes to pasta and shellfish. Serve chilled (6-8°C) in a tall, narrow glass.
