PRODUCTION AREA: Alt Penedès. Designation of Cava origin. The age of the vineyards is between 30 – 50 years. The vineyards of Mas Codina completely surround the winery, located on the coasts of the Bribons stream, between 250 and 300 metres above sea level, which allows us to have vineyards planted with north, east and south orientations. This torrent favors the creation of different microclimates that in the cavas give them very complex aromas and flavors that are only found in this area. The “Terroir” is sandy clay loam with a lot of lime.
CLIMATOLOGY: Mild winter with some rain. Mild spring with no rain. Few fungal treatments due to a warm and dry summer. The ripening has been correct despite the complications that have occurred in the last moment due to the rain. Manual selection of the grapes in the vineyard itself. Healthy and quality harvest.
