Freixenet Brut de Noirs
January 12th, 2008 Archive Posted in Spain, Sparkling No Comments »
| From the winemaker freixenetusa.com |
| This sparkling wine is fresh, crisp and lively. It is full of ripe cherry and berry flavors with a body that is exceptionally smooth and satiny. It is surprisingly dry with a long and satisfying finish. |
| Brut de Noirs is a blend of two red Spanish grape varieties called Garnacha (50%) and Monastrell (50%). Mediterranean red grapes are naturally lower in acid creating a softer brut without the typical astringent acidity found in most sparkling wines. These red grapes are also responsible for the attractive salmon-pink color of the wine. |

Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut
January 12th, 2008 Archive Posted in Spain, Sparkling No Comments »
| From the winemaker freixenetusa.com |
| Cordon Negro Brut is crisp, clean and well balanced. The dosage is very dry, but the acidity is lower than most champagnes for a softer, smoother flavor. It is medium-bodied with a moderately long and clean finish. |
| Cordon Negro is a blend of three white Spanish grape varieties called Macabeo (35%), Xarel-lo (25%) and Parellada (40%). Macabeo produces a fairly light but fruity, aromatic wine of medium-high acidity – characteristics crucial to the production of sparkling wine. It is also an important grape in the aging process because its must does not readily oxidize. Xarel-lo yields a robust, high-acid wine and contributes power and depth. Parellada is the star of all cava blends. It has both beautiful demonstrative fruit and finesse. |
