Calvente Rania Brut Nature 2019 – Cava from Andalusia

Pure elegance with bubbles from the mountainsides of Andalusia. Calvente Cava Rania Brut Nature is a sparkling wine that challenges expectations and delivers freshness, finesse, and terroir in one glass.

Created in high-altitude vineyards in the Sierra de la Contraviesa, Rania Brut Nature combines craftsmanship, nature, and timeless taste. This wine is produced in small quantities from 100% Vigiriega grapes, a rare, local variety, and is fermented according to the traditional method with 22 months of bottle ageing. The result is an unfiltered and unforgettable wine, completely free of dosage – raw and pure.

Aroma

Delicate notes of white fruit, especially pear and apple, accompanied by floral touches and fine citrus aromas. In the background, a subtle mineral touch and a discreet hint of toasted bread – a result of the long bottle ageing.

The aroma is both lively and sophisticated, revealing the wine's origin in high-altitude, calcareous soils. The combination of freshness and depth makes the aroma surprisingly complex for a sparkling wine.

Taste

On the palate, Calvente Rania Brut Nature is dry, razor-sharp, and creamy at the same time. The fine and persistent mousse weaves smoothly with fresh notes of citrus, green apples, and a small hint of hazelnut.

The acidity is lively and precise, providing a slightly salty minerality that lifts the taste experience. The traditional bottle fermentation can be felt in the structure – a resilient wine with great purity and character, balancing wild nature with elegant precision.
