ICE ROSÉ CUVÉE ESPECIAL CAVA NEW!
The immense popularity of Freixenet ICE now joins the rise of the Rosé. The new Freixenet ICE Rosé has been specially blended to be enjoyed in a large glass over big ice cubes or mixed it with your own choice of extra flavours to enhance its intensity. To create Freixenet ICE ROSÉ we have selected two of the finest red grape varieties – Garnacha and Pinot Noir. Garnacha delivers a touch of spice and ripe red fruit, while Pinot Noir brings freshness, acidity and flavours of woodland fruits. The touch of Chardonnay makes the wine more intense and balances the chill of the ice.
Intense aromas of woodland fruits, raspberries, sloes and strawberries. These fruits dominate the palate, but there are also flavours of aniseed and spices. The finish is refreshing, elegant and rich.

CORDON ROSADO CAVA
Rosado is our Spanish word for Rosé and is the cava for those of you who like their sparklers soft, smooth and … pink!
So what is this pink sparkler like? To look at, it is bright strawberry in colour with plenty of bubbles, which create a lovely white crown at the top of your glass. It has a delicious aroma of flowers and red fruits, with hints of the more exotic grenadine, dried figs and dates. And in the mouth, it delivers a fresh, light and soft taste of red fruits.
We make our Cordon Rosado in three levels of sweetness: Brut, Dry and Medium Dry. Brut is the driest with a low sugar dosage and spicy, smooth taste. Both Dry and Medium Dry offer sweeter tastes. This is a lovely sparkling wine to have with poultry, pork and lighter desserts.

VINTAGE RESERVA CAVA 2014
This is a high quality cava, much appreciated by lovers of unsweetened cavas, for its optimal degree of ageing, and the balance achieved between acidity and body.
Pale yellow in colour, with some touches of green. There is a fine, abundant, persistent mousse, which rises quickly in the glass to form a good crown. The nose is refreshing and appealing, with fruity notes and a nice citrus backdrop. Very lively on the palate, full of complex flavours, but well balanced by a fine, integrated sparkle in a most agreeable finish.

We have done many tests and many tastings to find the perfect updated profile for an innovative product in a growing market.
The colour is pale bright yellow with persistent bubbles. On the nose there are refreshing tropical notes and elegant citrus hints. On the palate it is lively, fruity, and especially refreshing. It fills the mouth, and expresses the good quality of the base wine. The very well balanced acidity and the medium size bubbles produce a very pleasant mouth feel.

Our Cordon Negro is made by blending three local grapes: the Macabeo, Xarel.lo and Parellada. They are all handpicked and pressed in our winery in Sant Sadurní where, after ten days, the first fermentation is completed. The juice is then clarified, blended, bottled and stored deep in our cellars where, after 10-14 months, a secondary fermentation and full maturity are reached.
Cordon Rosado is blended from two grape varieties – Trepat and Garnacha. The Trepat is chosen because of its powerful aroma and is quite rare to find in our Catalunya region. Like all our Cavas, this sparkling wine undergoes two fermentations – the first after about twelve days in temperature-controlled tanks and the second during its 12-18 months maturing period in the cellar-stored bottles.
Our Carta Nevada is made with the three famous Cava grapes: Macabeo, Xarel.lo and Paradella. The fruit is harvested by hand between August and October and then pressed pneumatically to obtain the juice, which ferments in tanks after 10-15 days. This liquid is then clarified, blended, bottled and stored in cellars under the Sant Sadurni winery for up to 14 months.
Elyssia Pinot Noir Brut takes the classic Pinot Noir grape and adds a touch of Trepat to create a distinctive new pink sparkling Rosado.
The Elyssia Gran Cuvée Brut combines traditional Macabeo and Parellada cava grapes with international favourites Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
