Pago de Tharsys Millésime Brut Reserva 2022 – Brut Reserva Chardonnay Cava
Pago de Tharsys Millésime Brut Reserva 2022 is a cava crafted using the traditional method. The harvest is done manually in 10 kg boxes, with a rigorous selection of grapes before gentle pressing. After bottling for the second fermentation, the cava rests horizontally in our underground cellar for at least 24 months. One month before disgorgement, manual riddling is performed on riddling racks. With a dosage of 6 grams per liter, the expedition liqueur comes from our family solera, which contains aged wines over 26 years old, giving this cava an elegant and distinctive character.

Organic Viticulture: We treat our soils and vines according to the principles of organic farming. No herbicides, chemical pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers are used. We rely on natural resources and organic compost that preserve the environmental balance and promote biodiversity in the vineyard. “Observe and respect” is our motto.
Vintage: The 2022 vintage began with a cold, dry winter that cleansed the soil of harmful insects. Spring was rainy and cold, helping water reserves but delaying bud break. The extremely hot and dry summer slowed ripening. The drought led to low yields, but grape quality—especially Chardonnay—was exceptional, offering great aromatic intensity.
