Masia Salat Organic Cava Brut N.V. is a traditionally crafted, bubbly beverage made from the classic Catalan grape varieties Macabeo, Xarello, and Parellada. After 14 months of resting on fine lees and a secondary fermentation in the bottle, the result is a delicious and complex drink with notes of ripe fruit, baked bread, and citrus, along with a creamy mouthfeel. Its high acidity and intense flavours culminate in a long-lasting finale.

An excellent selection for an aperitif this fizz is also delicious when paired with cheese or seafood linguine. 

About the Region and Producer

The best known and finest sparkling wine of Spain is Cava, made by the Method Traditionelle and aged in bottle before release. Although Cava is not a region but a generic term (it relates to the cellar used for maturation), the bulk of production is centred on the Catalan town of San Sadurni de Noya. Here, the chalk strata provide a perfect environment for the Macabeo, Parellada, Xarel-lo and Chardonnay vines, used in the classic Cava blends, and the location for cool ageing cellars.

Josep Masachs Llorach, owned vineyards in Vilafranca del Penedès as early as 1920. During this time he was one of the pioneers of the area producing still wines, his son took over his father’s hobby and made it his profession and turned his house, known to everyone as Cal Cabanyes, into his manufacturing center in the 1950s. Nowadays, the fourth generation of the family has arrived with an open and innovative mindset. Under the watchful eye of Joan Masachs and led by Alex Ruíz Masachs – hardworking, curious and creative with extensive experience in enology and global sales – family values have been reinterpreted to transmit them through more environmentally friendly products.
