Brut de Noirs

Freixenet Brut de Noirs, was created to meet consumer demand for a premium sparkling wine that is smoother, softer and “friendlier” than brut with an appealing and attractive color.

Tasting Notes

This sparkling wine is fresh, crisp and lively. It is full of ripe cherry and berry flavors with a body that is exceptionally smooth and satiny. It is surprisingly dry with a long and satisfying finish.

Winemaking

Freixenet produces only méthode champenoise sparkling wines. The wine goes through two fermentations; the second fermentation takes place in the bottle. Brut de Noirs is aged for up to eighteen months in a cave.

STAR SPARKLING WINE
"This fruity cava, a blend of the Spanish grape varieties Garnacha and Monastrell, isn't wildly complex, but it's remarkably affordable and delicious."

Blend

Brut de Noirs is a blend of two red Spanish grape varieties called Garnacha (50%) and Monastrell (50%). Mediterranean red grapes are naturally lower in acid creating a softer brut without the typical astringent acidity found in most sparkling wines. These red grapes are also responsible for the attractive salmon-pink color of the wine.
