Crafted from the classic Cava varieties Macabeo, Xarel·lo, and Parellada, this non-vintage cuvée originates in the elevated vineyards of Alt Penedès, where limestone-rich soils contribute freshness and precision. Aged 18 to 20 months on its lees and bottled without added dosage, it delivers fine bubbles, elegant texture, and a distinctly dry finish, offering an expressive alternative to more expensive traditional-method sparkling wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50% Macabeo, 30% Xarel·lo, 20% Parellada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFarming:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic and biodynamic practices, non-certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard Source:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-elevation vineyards of Alt Penedès\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVine Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30–35 years, according to the producer's technical sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sand and limestone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElevation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 350 meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVine Training:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional bush vines (en vaso)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primary fermentation in stainless steel, followed by secondary fermentation in bottle using the traditional method\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLees Aging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45 days for the base wine, followed by 18–20 months in bottle before disgorgement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zero, Brut Nature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 3,420 cases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinos de Terruños, German Gilabert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand Owner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinos de Terruños Pastor Gilabert S.L.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Producer Team\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-Vintage (NV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFine, persistent bubbles introduce delicate aromas of lemon zest, fresh citrus, and subtle mineral notes.

Pastor, Vinos de Terruños builds on the Pastor Gilabert family's involvement in Spanish wine and hospitality dating to the 1980s. Today, Teresa Pastor leads the family project, working with experienced regional growers and winemakers to create small-production wines that highlight Spain's indigenous grape varieties. German Gilabert is a specially developed Cava cuvée produced in collaboration with a local sparkling wine specialist. The family's approach emphasizes thoughtful vineyard selection, sustainable farming, traditional production methods, and wines that express their regional identity without unnecessary intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe well chilled at 43–48°F (6–9°C) in a tulip-shaped sparkling wine glass to highlight its fine mousse and mineral freshness. Its bone-dry character makes it an excellent aperitif and a versatile pairing for Spanish tapas, particularly jamón Ibérico, salt cod, anchovies, croquettes, and grilled seafood. Equally suited to oysters, fried calamari, and lightly seasoned fish dishes. Best enjoyed young to appreciate its lively bubbles and refreshing acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Buena Vida Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Non-Vintage (NV) \/ 750mL","offer_id":67588584833079,"sku":null,"price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2699\/1632\/files\/Vinos_de_Terrunos_German_Gilabert_Brut_Nature_Rosado_Cava_Penedes_Spain_NV.png?v=1791935334","url":"https:\/\/www.winedispensary.com\/products\/german-gilabert-cava-brut-sparkling","provider":"Wine Dispensary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
