Bottles made the second fermentation followed by a period of ageing in contact with lees of the yeasts in our underground cellars at a constant temperature (15-17ºC). This is the so-called traditional method, also used in the production of champagne. En total, the wine will spend a minimum of 12 months in the cellar. VINEYARD (VITICULTURE) The grapes Pinot Noir used in the elaboration of Gran Codorniu come from vineyards of the D. Or. Quarry. These vineyards are the oldest in Spain (over 25 years old) and are located in an area suitable for its cultivation, Riudabella, where the climate is mild continental favors an optimum concentration of the fruit, a greater body and aromatic intensity. The soils are stony, what prevents an excessive force from the vineyard. Cropping systems follow the criteria of integrated production and are particularly adapted to the production of sparkling wine. The vintage of the Pinot Noir grapes takes place in mid-August and is always carried out during the night, in order to keep the grapes as cool as possible and keep their aromas intact.

From many years ago, in Codorníu we apply them the techniques of viticulture sustainable, namely, we let nature take its course and only intervene when there are mismatches. Each grape variety is different and requires a climate and a soil special. Codorníu is the only producer of champagne which uses grapes from vineyards of three climatic zones are very different within the D. O. Quarry. It is a trait of exceptional that allows us to plant each variety in the area where it is able to display all of its expressiveness and, at the same time, provides Codorníu as a potential unmatched to be able to create different styles and types of champagne. These three climatic zones are: • El Penedès , soil type clayey-calcareous and mediterranean climate, where the grapes of traditional varieties, Macabeu, Xarello and Parellada express all their original typicality. • La Conca de Barberà , a zone with moderate continental climate ideal for the cultivation of the Pinot Noir variety, from which we get grapes with a mineral touch thanks to the slate floors. • Costers del Segre , the most continental of the Catalonia interior, where the great thermal amplitude between day and night produces grapes with a high aromatic concentration and flavors, and a vibrant freshness ideal for the varieties Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The development process is key for the elaboration of cava, called traditional method or champenoise. We characterized a unique style for our cavas by combining grapes from local and international cellars elegant, very expressive, fresh and aromatic, respecting the character of the grape variety and the terroir.
