Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut

Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut is produced in Catalunya, Spain, by Freixenet, S.A. a Brut Sparkling Wine blends three grape varieties Macabeo, Xarel.lo, and Parellada. The grapes are harvested by hand over several months, starting with the Macabeo grapes in late August and ending with the Parellada grapes in early October. The first fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, using Freixenet's own cultures. After 10 to 12 days, the wine is racked and clarified before blending and bottling. The secondary fermentation occurs in bottles with an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 14.5%.

Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut is aged for 12 to 18 months, allowing it to develop its crisp, clean, and well balanced character. Pair Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut with anything from Eggs Benedict to seafood, such as lobster or bluefin tuna. It is also the perfect prime rib cava selection for oysters, caviar, or sushi appetizers.

Palate: Cordon Negro Brut is a crisp, clean, and well balanced 'cava' sparkling wine. The fresh palate of apple, ripe pear, and bright citrus flavors combine with a long finish and an exciting touch of ginger.
