This wine is pale yellow colour, crystalline with bright hues. Its froth is elegant and permanent. In the nose beautiful fruit aromas with leesy characters. In the palate the carbonic from the second fermentation is perfectly integrated into the mouth, being soft and well balanced. Temperature for serving 12-14 ºC.

Cuisine: This outstanding Cava is a great match for fish, shell fish and white meat. Have it also as an aperitive. Consumption Recommended within 1 Year

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The Non-Vintage Brut is a blend of Macabeu and Chardonnay kept on the lees for 18 months. Fruity and off-dry, it will surprise those expecting a more traditional Cava from Penedes. Monte Vicor produces Cava and still wines in the DO of Calatayud where Garnacha is king. (Jay Miller) 86pts

Estate Profile

Monte Vicor is named after the Vicor Mountains that dominate the landscape and are home to much of the vineyards owned by to the fifth generation Langa vignerons, Juan and Cesar Langa Gonzalez, Owners of Bodega Langa Hermanos. It is arguably the most contemporary and best equipped Cellar in the Region, and the wines reflect this.

The 70 hectares of vineyards are actually, spread over two Domains with completely different terroirs giving great flexibility and scope to produce wines with character and individuality. “Los Yermos” is located in the Sierra de Armantes at an elevation of 600M, with an annual rainfall of 450mm. The vineyard looks like an oasis in the desert. Flat stony materials and clays dominate the soils. This is exclusively Garnacha territory.
The “El Coll” Domain is located close to the village of El Frasno, at an altitude of 750M, and annual rainfall of 750mm. The climate is fresher, and with the influence of Mount Moncayo has a reliable soft breeze that extends hang time,and enhances the aromatic profile of the grapes. Plenty of pine, cherry and almond trees share the slopes on the deeper soils.
