Crafted at the historical Raventós Rosell estate , Totus Tuus is blended using the three traditional Cava grapes along with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The wine is then aged on the lees for 20 months, resulting in a weighty and velvety expression of Cava.

Winemaking Notes: Primary fermentation occurs in stainless steel followed by secondary fermentation in the bottle. The lees age in the bottle for 20 months, far beyond the DO Cava minimum of 9 months, adding roundness and elegance.

Terroir Notes: The vineyards are located within the Penedès region in northeastern Spain, a few miles south of Barcelona in the subregion of Alt Penedès. The estate is situated between the villages of Maquefa and Sant Sadurni d’Anoia.

Tasting Notes: Totus Tuus Cava shows bright aromas of peach, lemon and orange zest, with a touch of licorice. The wine is concentrated, tactile and dense in the mouth, with a sappy, stony character to its citrus, pit fruit and anise flavors. It shows richness and vivacity in the mouth. The bright finish is long. Cava is a perfect pairing with fried food of all kinds, particularly seafood. The particular weight and texture of Totus Tuus lends itself to pairing with richer seafood dishes.

About the Name: The name Totus Tuus derives from the Latin expression meaning "everything for you" or “all yours.”
