Description
In the heights of Subirats, where the Penedès region is criss-crossed by stony terraces and holm oak forests, the Can Llopart estate is a sanctuary of conscious viticulture. For generations, the Llopart family has cultivated this land with an unwavering commitment to respect for the environment and the authenticity of the wine. In the 1950s, when many were committed to mass production, they made a courageous decision to follow the opposite path. They opted for organic farming, minimum intervention and a viticulture that lets the landscape speak.
Thus was born Llopart Integral, a sparkling wine that encapsulates the philosophy of the house: purity, precision and expression of the terroir without concessions. Its name, "Integral", reflects a total vision of viticulture, where ecology, tradition and innovation merge. The combination of Parellada ( 40%), Xarel.lo (30%) and Chardonnay (30%) offers a play of tensions and harmonies: aromatic freshness, structure and depth. The vines, grown in poor, shallow soils at an altitude of 360 metres, produce low but intense yields, resulting in wines of great character and verticality.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand from selected plots, at the exact moment when the grapes reach a balance of ripeness and acidity. The grapes enter the press whole to maintain their integrity. The must ferments slowly at a low temperature, preserving the most delicate primary aromas. The Llopart Integral blend is bottled at the beginning of the year, and the bottles rest on the lees, in total darkness and at a constant temperature, for more than 20 months. This ageing on lees confers complexity and creaminess. Finally, it is disgorged without the addition of expedition liqueur: Brut Nature in its most honest form.
Taste
From the first moment, Llopart Integral seduces with its finesse. The nose is restrained but expressive: green apple, candied lemon, white almond, fennel and light notes of brioche. The minerality appears as an undercurrent, constant and clear.
On the palate, Llopart Integral reveals a fine, enveloping, almost ethereal bubble. The wine is dry, direct, but with a caressing texture. Notes of white fruit, ripe citrus, a saline echo that adds tension, and an acidity that cleanses and lengthens the finish. Perfect for those seeking authenticity, energy and an unadorned style.
