- share it
The cava AGOSARAT 2006 Special Edition of Cava Guilera has been chosen wine of the week by the specialised journalist Ramon Francas in the newspaper La Vanguardia. This recognition highlights the uniqueness of a Penedès cava with an exceptional aging of 230 months, one of the longest in the world of cava.
The article highlights the unique character of this Gran Reserva Brut Nature, made with traditional varieties and a philosophy based on respect for time and origin.
A cava aged for 230 months
AGOSARAT 2006 Special Edition is a cava that represents the essence of our way of working: patience, minimal intervention and long aging.
The blend is made with traditional varieties from the Penedès:
- Xarel·lo (50%)
- Macabeu (40%)
- Parellada (10%)
After more than 19 years of aging in the cellar, the result is a cava of great aromatic complexity, with notes of nuts, toasted bread and hints of honey, accompanied by an acidity that maintains freshness and elegance.
It is not common to find a cava with such a long aging process, which makes Agosarat 2006 a very special edition for Cava Guilera.
In his weekly wine section, Ramon Francàs highlights the surprising character of this cava, describing it as a wine spacious, complex and elegant, capable of demonstrating the potential of long aging in cava.
This recognition in La Vanguardia is especially significant for us, as it highlights the work of a family winery that has been committed to long aging cavas for decades, with patient and honest processes.
Agosarat —which in Catalan means bold— it is also a tribute to the entrepreneurial spirit of the Guilera family.
The story goes back to Isidre Guilera, who in the 1920s began to make his own sparkling wines after studying technical manuals and experimenting with the family vineyards of Penedès.
That restless and curious spirit is what continues to inspire our understanding of cava today: Respect for the vineyard, long aging and minimal intervention in the winery.

From Cava Guilera we would like to thank Ramon Francàs for his attention and interest in our work. Recognition like this encourages us to continue striving for excellence. Long-aged cavas where time is the true protagonist.
