Golden in colour, the aromas are reminiscent of white fruit and camomile flowers. The ageing notes are very evident and show brioche, breadcrumbs and dried apricots. It is a fully gastronomic wine, structured, with a vibrant freshness and a roundness full of character.
Ageing over 86 months, with natural cork stopper. Lustros is a complex sparkling wine, a pure reflection of its terroir, the Font de Jui estate, which lies between the Anoia River and Mas Escorpí hills. We care for the Xarel·lo and Macabeo vines using the most respectful winegrowing techniques: We follow biodynamic principles, we plough by horses and harvest by hand .
In 1850 Josep Batlle was working as a winemaker and grower for a family who owned the vineyards in La Plana, in the Anoia River valley. When phylloxera was ravaging the vineyards of France and much of Europe, Josep Batlle’s son, Pau, set about selling wine to the French sparkling wine producers, who knew the Catalonia region well, as it was their main cork supplier at the time. Using the Xarel·lo as a base, Pau learnt how to refine his own wines for this purpose. This led to him setting up his own winery, Cellar Battle, in 1881 and enabled him to buy the vineyards that his father used to work
