About Freixenet Meritum Gran Reserva Brut Nature

There are accolades that cannot be demanded vociferously nor conjured overnight. True merit, that which gives meaning to the Latin word meritum, is crafted in the shadows, with the unwavering dedication of those who understand that authentic achievements require time, precision, and a profound respect for the craft. In everyday life, this value is evident in the mundane details, in the relentless work that does not seek immediate applause but rather the satisfaction of a duty fulfilled. Transposed to the realm of sparkling wine, this merit resides in the silence and dimness of an underground cellar, where the finest raw materials rest unhurriedly, awaiting the precise moment when maturity transforms into elegance.

From the historic town of Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, in the province of Barcelona and the emblematic heart of the DO Cava, the winery Freixenet crafts Freixenet Meritum Gran Reserva Brut Nature. Established in the early 20th century and boasting over a century of heritage, the brand epitomises celebration and mastery in the traditional method. The grapes destined for this creation are born in the Penedès, a region of gentle hills governed by the Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and warm summers where the sea breeze aids in maintaining the health of the vineyards. The vines thrive on predominantly clay-limestone soils, ideal for retaining just the right amount of moisture and imparting structure to the traditional varieties macabeo, xarel·lo, and parellada. Cultivation is meticulously managed, aiming for a balanced yield that ensures good acidity and manual harvesting.

The production of Freixenet Meritum Gran Reserva Brut Nature adheres to a precise discipline. Harvesting is conducted manually in 25-kilogram crates. Following the gentle pressing of the bunches, alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of between 14 and 16 degrees for 12 days, preserving the primary aromas of the fruit. After a series of rackings, separating the clear wine from the coarse lees, the base wine is crafted, which then proceeds to blending and bottling along with the liqueur de tirage. Thus begins the second fermentation in the bottle through the traditional method. The cava ages in the dimness of the cellar for over 30 months on its lees. Finally, disgorgement is performed to remove the sediment without adding sugar in the liqueur d'expédition, resulting in a pure and direct Brut Nature profile.

Freixenet Meritum Gran Reserva Brut Nature is a resounding demonstration that time is the best ally of well-executed work. A cava with poise, ideal for accompanying grand meals from start to finish or for toasting to great achievements.
