SKU: ESP-NAVERAN-PERLES-BLANQUES-750

Appearance: Exhibits a beautiful pale straw yellow color with golden and greenish reflections, of crystalline clarity and brilliance. Its bubbles are extraordinarily small, constant, and integrated, rising in microscopic threads that form a persistent and delicate crown on the surface.

Nose: Complex, aristocratic, and captivating profile. Initially, notes of baked apple, ripe white pear, and candied grapefruit peel unfold. With aeration, subtle floral notes emerge, along with toasted bread, fresh butter brioche, toasted almonds, and a finely mineral, chalky background.

Palate: Majestic, ample, and sumptuous entry. The bubbles have a creamy feel, melting like a silken caress on the palate with no aggressiveness. It shows a vibrant and crisp citrus acidity that perfectly balances the volume and weight on the palate contributed by the Pinot Noir. Long, dry, extremely refined finish, with persistent memories of nuts and fine pastry.

Precision Gastronomic Pairing: Perles Blanques Naveran possesses a structural opulence that allows it to break the mold of a simple aperitif to establish itself as a grand table wine. It harmonizes masterfully with caviar, Fine de Claire oysters, Ibérico bellota ham, truffled beef carpaccio, and foie gras. It is the perfect ally for baked fatty fish (such as turbot, cod, or wild salmon), grilled seafood, clean seafood paella, fideuás, and creamy risottos with mushrooms. In Mexican gastronomy, its sumptuousness and bubbles are extraordinary for pairing with traditional chiles en nogada, white mole, scallop aguachiles, octopus tostadas, and crispy suckling pig tacos.

What is the optimal serving temperature for Cava Perles Blanques Naveran?

Given its complexity and prolonged aging on lees, it should not be served excessively chilled, as extreme cold would numb its fine pastry and ripe fruit aromas. The ideal temperature ranges between 8°C and 10°C. It is advisable to keep the bottle in an ice bucket with moderate water and ice during service.

What does it mean for it to contain Pinot Noir vinified in white?

This process is known as *Blanc de Noirs*. It involves using the red grape Pinot Noir but extracting the juice immediately and very gently, preventing the must from coming into contact with the skin (pomace), where the color is located. This gives the cava the structure, vinosity, and aging potential typical of a red grape, while maintaining a bright and crystalline white color.

Why is it important for the grapes to be certified organic?

Organic certification guarantees that Naveran practices sustainable viticulture that respects the natural cycles of the plant and the soil. By eliminating synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers, the indigenous yeasts of the vineyard carry out a purer fermentation, resulting in a cava with a more honest, clean, and expressive terroir typicity.

Can this author cava be stored or is it for immediate consumption?

Perles Blanques Naveran is released to the market after a long rest in the winery and is at an splendid moment for consumption. However, thanks to the enormous structure provided by Pinot Noir and its superb natural acidity, it has great evolutionary potential. It can be perfectly stored in a well-conditioned cellar for 2 to 4 years, where it will develop even more complex honeyed and bakery nuances.
