The reason which makes this Nature Brut Reserva different to the others is due to the 2nd fermentation, the ageing and the froth process occur in the same bottle which eventually will go straight to the customer. It is a Cava with its own personality, with a particular, special coupage different to any other one.
It has been created with the intention that one single person might be able to experience the bouquet and the highest quality in a Cava. BAYANUS 375 was born to please the most exquisite palate. Elaborated with 3 different local varietal grapes: Macabeo, Xarel.lo and Parellada, proceeding from Penedes old vines with poor yield and rich concentration of aromatics: each bottle indicates the “Degüelle” date, which means the end of the ageing process when the lees are removed and the bottle topping up with the definitive cork. This is one of the most elaborated greatest Reserva due to a minimun ageing of 24 months.
What the critics say...

The pricier bottlings start with the 2007 Bayanus Reserva Brut Nature available only in 375-ml bottles. The fruit was sourced from vines with a minimum of 60 years of age. It displays a bit more aromatic complexity, a round, smooth texture, excellent depth of flavor, and a lengthy, fruit-filled finish. Drink it over the next 2-3 years.
With the aim to elaborate Cava in its maximum expression, three autochthonous varieties are selected from the best subfields of the Penedés: Xarel.lo, Parellada and Macabeo, to which the mediterranean weather will give a few singular characteristics and personality. With a careful process... which goes from the election of the best ´crus of the Penedés´, passing a rigorous control of the vineyards, up to a selection and harvest by hand... are the key of its secret: Technology and tradition go together to respect and to promote the virtudes of its Cavas.
