The Blue Neck 2021 Gran Reserva showcases the exceptional quality that comes from four years of careful aging. This stunning cava displays a big, rich, and opulent character with pronounced yeasty complexity that speaks to its extended time on lees. The wine presents beautifully creamy textures complemented by fresh apple notes, creating a harmonious balance between richness and elegance. Bold and delicious, this Gran Reserva represents the pinnacle of Maria Casanovas' winemaking craft, delivering an impressive and memorable drinking experience. The Maria Casanovas winery embodies generations of family winemaking tradition in Catalunya's Penedès region. After years of farming grapes for Freixenet, the family launched their own production in 1994, moving to their current facility in 2011 where Aurora now leads the new generation. Located 200 meters above sea level in a protected forest setting, their 9-hectare estate benefits from both sea and mountain influences, creating a unique terroir for their 30-year-old vines. The family practices completely organic, manual viticulture on their farm-to-bottle operation, producing approximately 100,000 bottles annually of Brut Nature cava with no dosage. While primarily sold in Catalunya, 35% reaches export markets, reflecting their commitment to sustainable winemaking that aligns with Penedès' transition to fully organic production by 2025.
