Made from Chardonnay, Parellada, and Macabeo grapes, it has a ripe, fresh character.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Only the best grapes for Burt White\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n Codorniu is a Spanish family-owned winery and one of the largest cava producers in the world. The grapes used to produce Anna de Codorníu come from two very different growing regions. The Chardonnay variety comes from vineyards in Lleida, the most continental climate region of the DO Cava, which gives the grapes optimal concentration, lower acidity, and fuller body and intensity. Harvest takes place in mid-August and is always carried out at night to keep the grapes as cool as possible, preserve aroma, and prevent oxidation or spontaneous fermentation.\n\n\n \nThe grapes are pressed, and the must is obtained. Selected yeast is then added, and the must ferments at a temperature between fifteen and seventeen degrees Celsius. Once the fermentation process is complete and the wines have stabilized, blending takes place, and the resulting wine is bottled along with the liqueur de tirage (a mixture of sugar and yeast). The bottles are stored in an underground cellar (at a constant temperature of seventeen degrees Celsius), where a second fermentation takes place, followed by a period of aging in contact with yeast lees. In total, the wine spends at least fifteen months on the lees.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does Anna de Codorniu Brut taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe mousse (bubbles) are very refined, thanks in part to the long aging of fifteen months in the Codorniu cellars. This aging is crucial for the beautiful result; the aroma reveals green apple, ripe pear, and citrus peel. The taste is perfectly balanced, with ripe fruit notes of apple and gooseberry and a nice dose of minerals. In the undertone, this Anna de Codorniu Brut also has hints of mown grass, toast, and lime.

The grapes are hand-harvested from the four main terroirs in the area, with each plot being harvested separately. After harvesting, the grapes are carefully pressed, and the juice undergoes controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. What makes the Ladoucette Pouilly Fumé so special is the aging process on lees. After the resting period, the wines from the different plots are blended. This blending ensures that the different characters blend harmoniously, creating a perfect balance.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Enjoy a phenomenal wine from Ladoucette\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nOnce you taste this Ladoucette Pouilly-Fume, you'll never want anything else.

De serie combineert thee-infusies met gedealcoholiseerde wijn. Iedere variant krijgt een eigen smaakrichting door de gekozen thee, van bloemige jasmijn tot de geroosterde tonen van Hojicha. Daardoor kunnen de dranken worden afgestemd op het gerecht. De aanbevolen serveertemperatuur verschilt per variant: de meer geroosterde stijlen worden iets minder koud geschonken dan de frisse, fruitige uitvoeringen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DGS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67946318856271,"sku":"LS9023","price":9.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/noa-sparkling-tea-hojicha-ls9023.webp?v=1793371791"}],"url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.nl\/en\/collections\/actie-novemberfavorieten-2026-11-04.oembed","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
