The prestigious Cava house Clos Amador, under the banner of the influential Pere Ventura, is a true testament to quality and expertise in the world of refined Cavas. Their use of a harmonious blend of Xarello, Macabeo, and Parellada grapes—each contributing one-third—is a celebration of tradition and innovation. The vines, majestically situated at an altitude of 250 meters above sea level, enjoy an ideal symbiosis of sunshine and refreshing breezes. This coolness, combined with the southerly location, ensures a slow, balanced ripening process, giving the Cava its characteristic freshness. And when the stars align in terms of ripeness, the grapes are carefully hand-picked, extracting only the purest essence.
The Secret Behind Clos Amador's Sparkling Personality
The first chapter of this enchanting Cava begins with the separate fermentation of each grape variety. The true magic lies in the expert hands of Clos Amador's winemaker, who creates a masterful blend of the three grape varieties. This blend is then transformed using the traditional method, identical to the famous Champagnes of France. In the mystical cellars of Clos Amador, with added yeast and sugar, the wine spends fifteen months developing its characteristic mousse. The end result is a symphony of flavor and texture.

The experience begins the moment you open the bottle.

This Cava caresses the senses with notes of white fruit, citrus, apricot, and a hint of red apple. And just when you think the climax has been reached, a rich wave of passion fruit and white peach arrives, completing the tasting experience.
