Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut

The grape varieties used in the creation of the base wine for this Cava are Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada. A light, very modern cava, much appreciated for its refreshing style, created from a special blend of the three traditional, indigenous Penedes white varieties. The fruity character of this Cava is derived in great part from the low fermentation temperatures, between 14 and 16ºC, which allow a great percentage of the natural grape aromas to be retained in the finished wine. Tasting notes Pale yellow with greenish hues, bright. Abundant, fine, and persistent bubbles, well-integrated with good release of carbon dioxide forming a nice crown. Delicate and refined aromas, with predominant notes of green fruit (apple, pear), subtle touches of ripe tropical fruit (banana, hints of pineapple), citrus undertones, and fresh herbs, all well-balanced with medium-aged aromas. Fresh on the palate, with good carbon dioxide behaviour, broad in flavours, once again showcasing green fruit and citrus notes. Light-bodied, with a clean and elegant retronasal finish. Food pairing The freshness and bubbles of Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut balance out rich, crunchy dishes like fish and chips, fried chicken, or Swiss chard fritters. They also enhance the flavours of seafood dishes such as oysters, mussels with garlic and parsley, seafood rice, or ceviche with passion fruit. It pairs well with lighter options like salmon blinis, rocket salad with green apple and cashews, or Vietnamese prawn rolls. For a creative twist, try it with a chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce or nachos with guacamole. Perfect for appetisers and snacks.
