{"product_id":"avinyo-cava-brut-nature-2022","title":"Avinyo, Cava Brut Nature, 2022","description":"Avinyó never blends in reserve wine, so every Cava they make is a snapshot of one year, and 2022 was quite a year: extreme drought, four long heat waves from May onward and yields down almost 40%. Even so, the family says the grapes that did come in were excellent and healthy. They give some of the credit to their soils at Finca Can Fontanals, which are deep, well-drained loam and silt-loam with small deposits of calcium carbonate, the kind of ground that keeps a crop balanced when the rain doesn't come. The Esteve family has been at the Can Fontanals farmhouse in Avinyonet del Penedès since 1597, and in 2022 they were awarded Elaborador Integral status, roughly Cava's answer to a Champagne récoltant-manipulant. The organically farmed Xarel·lo, Macabeo and Parellada are grown, made and bottled entirely on the estate. Like all Avinyó Cavas it's classified Cava de Guarda Superior, which means at least 18 months of bottle ageing, vines at least ten years old and organic farming. It's also Brut Nature, so there's no added sugar. Each shipment is disgorged to order and travels to the US under refrigeration, a level of care you'd usually only find in grower Champagne costing a lot more.","brand":"De Maison East [DME]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51073762426937,"sku":"NYC-W-DME-`CA-22`-110426-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/IMG-5831.jpg?v=1794008849","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/avinyo-cava-brut-nature-2022","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
