Pere Mata is the rarity among the Cava firms of the Penedès in that he personally tends to his tiny five-acre estate, observing organic guidelines every step of the way. His basic Cava is always vintage-dated, his labels indicate disgorgement dates and each wine spends at least two years on the lees. Only the traditional varieties are employed, and even though Mata's finished wines suggest Champagne, they are very much the epitome of how good traditional, painstakingly-made Cava can be. 70% Garnaxta, 30% Paralleda. Organic.
