History Oriol Rossel (Damia)

Damia's signature is long-aged, vintage cavas. The date of disgorgement is on the back-label of each wine. The total production is less than 500,000 bottles, taking into consideration various cava cuvées and the still wines. Everything is still produced in the 17the century property of Cal Cassanyes.

Damia will not increase its production in the future because it would contradict its traditional way of working.

Varieties Oriol Rossel (Damia)

The xarello grape, the best of the region, is the most planted here. There is also some macabeu, parellada and muscat d'Alexandrie, as well as a few parcels of red grapes. In total, the estate has 70 hectares under vines. Most are old vines, surrounding the cellar.

Terroir Oriol Rossel (Damia)

The estate has 70 ha, both in Higher Penedès and Lower Penedès, ont calcareous soils ideal for the production of Cava - which explains that this region is the epicenter of this Spanish sparkling wine.

Vinification Oriol Rossel (Damia)

Harvesting by hand in 20 kg boxes. The grapes are selected on a sorting table, then softly pressed, in whole bunches. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts at controlled temperature. Each year, the blend can change according to the vintage, but with at least 50% xarello (the most qualitative grape). The wines are aged sur lattes for some 24 months before being disgorged; the final dosage depends on the cuvée.
