Wine made from grapes grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides in the vineyard.
Made from the very grapes that go into Cava but altogether one of the finest sparkling wines from the region. Aged for 24 months before disgorging. The Mas Gomà estate has 60 year vines planted in chalk-based soils. This and the ideal exposition of the vineyards makes for a superior sparkling wine from the region.
Mas Gomà La Planta is a remarkable wine that truly over delivers at its price point.
