Guilera 1927 – 2020: If we were a cava…
- share it
XAREL LO
Pere Guilera is the strain man and musivari harmony. And the cavero trio that accompanies him? If we were a cava, Jordi would be the xarel lo, Miguel the yeasts and I would be the sugar. Xarel·lo is resistant, acid and sublime. When everything goes wrong in the vineyard, survive. In the cellar it is like a long-distance runner. And when the catharsis finally arrives [[[ without a doubt ]]] you are grateful for the luck you have. Because they are the best; my brother Jordi and the xarel·lo grape are the best. They can lead a traditional blend and can also shine on their own: see the Guilera Agosarat and the mellowness of the past days and see also the Guilera Xarel·la, so fabulous and fresh that it doesn't even know its end.
YEASTS
Cava yeasts are unicellular fungi, they come from grapes and they are spectacular. GO GO GO sequence shot: We add sugar and yeasts to the wine, fill the bottles and send them underground, the yeasts eat the sugar and transform it into carbon dioxide and alcohol, the yeasts die and become mothers, the mothers nourish the cava during rearing and then move away. A fascinating journey, right? Without the yeasts, the cava would not be. Without the fortuitousness of life, champagne would not be either. and without him cerdanac might of Miguel, so many things that already are [[[ still ]]] would not exist...
SUGAR
Sugar also has an exciting history; not only because of its transformation but also because of its origin. Until now, the sugar in cava came mainly from sugar cane. But this 2020 a study that was published 30 years ago has been recovered: MCR – rectified concentrated must. The project, which proposes using sugar from the grapes themselves instead of sugar cane, already has the explicit support of the Ministry and the Department of Agriculture. It is very exciting, because the problem of surplus grapes would be alleviated, singularity and local production would be promoted, and the importance of cooperating [[[ once again ]]] would be demonstrated.

The bubble hatches the magical imaginary of cava. I think I'm going to dedicate my life to this imaginary! But in my own way, like a libertarian satellite. It might seem like an oxymoron, but no: satellite because I will always be at the service of a higher cause and libertarian because I have chosen this life option. Like an intrepid little bubble that already wants to shoot out. Like a sherry sip of our most daring cava. After 12 years working in Cava Guilera [[[ me too ]]] I hatch and transform myself. To be more free, authentic and faithful to my essence. As we say at Cava Guilera: Cava needs time to become a Great Cava. And the people, too. Let's be brave and let ourselves be, the last will be the first [[[ martaGR80 ]]]
