Elyssia Pinot Noir Brut

Freixenet is excited to announce the launch of Elyssia by Freixenet, an extraordinary harmony of Cava tradition married to the new openness in winemaking. From the Latin Elysium or Elysian fields, meaning heavenly or a state of perfect bliss, Elyssia sparkling wines offers a symmetry of old and new.

We challenged our winemakers to create a new level of refinement in Cava. This challenge inspired them to think about bold new blends while limiting yields in pressing to guarantee the highest quality. Elyssia sets out to offer a wine that meets the aspirational needs of sparkling wine and cava enthusiasts.

The sensual, modern bottle and packaging of Elyssia offers a distinctive, elegant look, reflecting both the craftsmanship of Freixenet and its commitment to innovation and beauty.

Tasting Notes

Elyssia Pinot Noir Brut has an intense aroma of raspberries and blackberries with a fresh and fruity mid-palate followed by a lovely, sweet aftertaste and soft acidity.

Winemaking

The two grape varietals in the Elyssia Pinot Noir Brut are handled separately prior to blending in order to amplify their unique qualities. Our delicate Pinot Noir grapes are harvested at night to preserve their intrinsic aromas, while the Trepat is hand harvested and macerated between 8-12 hours before pressing. The two lots of young wines are fermented separately in stainless steel tanks with specially selected yeasts until the final blend is prepared.
