Cava Mina de Oro: The Brilliant Treasure of Bodegas Luzon

We are pleased to present a jewel that has been maturing under the earth and sky of our land: the new Cava Mina de Oro. This cava is the fruit of careful winemaking and represents the effort, tradition and dedication that we put into every step of our winemaking process. At Bodegas Luzón, we understand that a good cava is not just a drink, but an experience, a discovery that, as its name suggests, evokes the emotion of discovering a golden vein in the depths.

Cava Mina de Oro is not just another cava, it is a journey that connects the best of our land with the deepest of our tradition. Like the roots of our vines, which go deep into the earth to extract their essence, Cava Mina de Oro arises from this deep bond with nature. Like those golden veins that criss-cross the rocks, our cava embodies the richness we seek in each vintage, a brilliant and sophisticated reward.

The Golden Path: A Superior Brut Cava of ‘Guarda’

Our new jewel is a Cava de Guarda Superior Brut. This category reflects the level of care and dedication we put into its creation. The process begins with a meticulous selection of grapes, based on their freshness and aromatic potential. We have chosen two varieties that have always been synonymous with quality in the world of cava: Macabeo and Xarel-lo. These vines have been grown organically, respecting the natural balance of the environment, and carefully selected from the vineyard to their reception at the winery.

The grapes are harvested by hand early in the morning, when temperatures are cooler and the grapes retain their maximum potential. This detail is essential to preserve the unique aromas and characteristics that we seek in Mina de Oro Cava. Once in the cellar, the grapes are cooled to a low temperature before being drained, which allows us to extract the highest aromatic content from the free-run juice, a critical phase in the creation of a high quality cava.

Once naturally decanted, without the addition of fining agents, the must undergoes controlled fermentation. This process, which requires patience and precision, is key to obtaining the base wine that will later give rise to our cava. The wine is then aged on its lees for at least 18 months, a period during which it acquires the nuances and structure that define it.

Treasure in the Cup: Tasting Notes

We are proud to introduce you to our cava, a pale yellow cava with golden reflections that evokes that subtle and elegant glow that we associate with gold. On the nose, Cava Mina de Oro surprises us with aromas of fermentation and fresh pastries, a hallmark of cavas that have undergone long ageing on the lees. As we explore it, delicate notes of white fruit emerge, bringing freshness and balance to the aromatic ensemble.

On the palate, the experience is simply sublime. The entry is sweet, enveloping the palate with a round and pleasant texture. The carbon dioxide, the result of long resting on the lees, is elegantly presented, perfectly integrated and balanced, providing a sensation of freshness that extends throughout the entire drink. Cava Mina de Oro is a cava designed to enjoy, to savour and to share.

Food and wine pairing: The Versatility of Cava

This cava, with its structure and complexity, is the perfect companion for a wide variety of dishes. From white meat stews such as chicken or rabbit, to fish with mild sauces, medium cured cheeses and vegetable-based dishes with sulphurous aromas such as onions, garlic and leeks, Cava Mina de Oro adapts and brings out the best in each ingredient. Its versatility also makes it an excellent accompaniment to mild smoked and cured sausages, adding a layer of sophistication to every mouthful.

The Legacy of Our Land

The launch of Cava Mina de Oro is not only a milestone for us as a winery, but also a celebration of our land and the traditions we have nurtured over the years. This cava reflects our commitment to our vineyards and to sustainable production. By making our products organically, we seek not only to preserve the quality of our grapes, but also to ensure a legacy for future generations.

This new cava is a representation of everything we believe in: quality, sustainability and tradition. Each bottle of Mina de Oro Cava is a tribute to the roots of Spanish viticulture, to the hours of work dedicated to the care of each vine, and to the ancestral processes that, with the help of innovation, allow us to offer a product that transcends the ordinary.

A toast to Gold

The launch of Cava Mina de Oro is a moment that we want to share with all of you, our customers and friends who have been by our side along the way. We know that this cava will not only be a new member of our family, but also a treasure that many will want to enjoy in their special moments. It is a celebration of what we have achieved together, of the land that gives us life and of the fruits that are born from it.

At Bodegas Luzón, we have followed the path of gold and we have found it in the form of a sparkling cava full of life. Cava Mina de Oro is the result of years of dedication and passion for the world of wine. We would like to invite you to discover it, to enjoy it and to toast together to all that is to come.
