✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Freixenet's Elyssia Pinot Noir Brut is a sophisticated expression of Spanish sparkling rosado, crafted in the heart of the Cava DO in San Sadurní d'Anoia. The name 'Elyssia' evokes the mythical Elysian Fields, hinting at the heavenly sensory experience the winemakers aimed to capture. This premium cuvée is crafted predominantly from Pinot Noir grapes, a variety that thrives in the cooler, higher-altitude microclimates of the Penedès region, imparting vibrant acidity and delicate red fruit aromas. Produced using the traditional method, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle and is aged on its lees for at least 18 months. This extended contact adds a creamy texture and subtle brioche complexity to its bright raspberry, cherry, and red currant notes, bridging the gap between classic Spanish sparkling heritage and contemporary international style.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Freixenets rødder går helt tilbage til 1861, men huset blev officielt etableret under sit berømte navn i 1914 gennem ægteskabet mellem Pedro Ferrer Bosch og Dolores Sala Vivé i Sant Sadurní d'Anoia – det historiske hjerte for Cataloniens mousserende vine. Takket være Dolores' banebrydende tilgang til moderne kældermetoder og produktion efter den traditionelle metode voksede vinhuset hurtigt fra en lokal familiebodega til en af verdens førende producenter af mousserende vin. Freixenet sætter en ære i at fremhæve det regionale terroir og mestrer til fulde de oprindelige catalanske druesorter – Macabeo, Xarel·lo og Parellada – på tværs af hele sortimentet. Huset er verdenskendt for sine friske, harmoniske og imødekommende bobler, anført af ikoniske cuvéer som den matterede Cordón Negro, den alsidige Carta Nevada samt prestigeserien Casa Sala Gran Reserva, der fremstilles efter de stolteste traditioner.
