"The 2023 De Nit is a pale rosé produced with 50% Xarel.lo, 34% Macabeo, 9% Parellada and 7% Monastrell from organically farmed vineyards. It refermented in bottle with lees for 18 months. In this third year of heat and a lack of water, many old vines died; Xarel.lo and Sumoll behaved better. By lowering the yields and keeping the poise, the wines have tension and freshness and don't show any heat. This is an extra brut with 12.5% alcohol and four grams of residual sugar. It has a very similar nose and profile as the Blanc de Blancs, Mediterranean, sapid and fresh, with small bubbles and a dry, chalky finish, showing great balance. It's more than a rosé. Pleasure per dollar."

"The 2023 Extra Brut de Nit blends 49% Xarel·lo, 34% Macabeu, 9% Parellada and 7% Monastrell from Conca del Riu Anoia, Penedès. This very pale Rosé delivers subtle aromas of caramel, herbs and apple. It is dry, with an unusual touch of grip, bringing freshness and character to the palate. A distinctive sparkling wine well suited to food."
TASTING NOTES | A pale, subdued and elegant pink color with clean, pure and almost crystalline aromas of light citrus, red flowers, white fruit, and a touch of cassis. The clean nose evolves with a smooth, voluminous and fruity texture, pleasant freshness and fine bubbles. Driven by a very good balance, with low dosage (Extra Brut).
