Cordon Negro Extra Dry was introduced in 1990 to appeal to changing customer preferences. Updated to trend along with more modern palates, Cordon Negro Brut Extra Dry is a crisp sparkling wine with just a nuance of sweetness, making it perfect for stylish, contemporary cuisine.
Vinification
Aged up to twelve months in the perfect chill of the caves that Cava sparkling wines are named for, Cordon Negro Extra Brut is blended with a 2.3 percent dosage, making it the perfect off-dry wine for a number of menus and occasions. Like all cavas, Cordon Negro Extra Brut is produced using the traditional méthode champenoise, creating privileged bubbles nurtured through double fermentation, followed by the long, carefully-tended process of aging, riddling and disgorgement.
Palate
A dry sparkling wine that whispers just a hint of sweetness, Cordon Negro Brut Extra Dry pleases a variety of palates. Earthy, fruity, and blessed with peach, melon and candied citrus essence, this cava leads up to a long, smooth finale of intoxicating flavors and aromas.
