Rene Barbier Cava Rosado Brut - A very elegant, attractive zesty and fruit packed pink cava. This sparkler has a good steady stream of fine bubbles and summer fruit flavours. A stunning pinky!
The Barbier name is one of the most famous in Penedés, the origin of almost all Cava. Léon Barbier emigrated from the southern Rhône in 1880, bringing much-needed French know-how to these vineyards near Barcelona. Originally forging its reputation on still wines, René Barbier now excels in Cava, with class-leading standards of production at every stage of the process.
The grapes are grown in the chalk/clay and limestone soils of the Middle Penedés region, 35 kilometres south-west of Barcelona. The climate and the altitudes of between 350 and 600 metres above sea level mean that the evolution of the grapes is slow and constant, producing just enough alcohol, but more importantly, retaining a good level of acidity so vital for the production of quality sparkling wine.
