R699

About

The grape varieties used in the creation of the base wine for this Cava are Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada. Harvest starts at the end of August with the Macabeo and ends at the beginning of October with Parellada. Picking is done by hand, and the grapes are brought to the winery in 25kg capacity plastic boxes. From these grapes, in pneumatic presses, we obtain the grape juice. The juice is left to rest for 24 hours in a static decantation to drop its sediment. Once it is clean, it is transferred to the fermentation tanks, keeping each variety separate from the others.

A star-bright yellow, with hints of gold. Mid-sized bubbles forming a good crown. Fresh and appealing on the nose. Elegantly floral, with notes of fresh apple and some subtle notes of citrus.

Writer's block

Ours is about 3 feet by 3 feet, and on our left is the account's block. The marketing block is down the hall.

We're joking. Obviously.

Ours is at least 5 by 5, and on Wednesdays we're allowed to write in coffee shops to maintain the illusion that we're "successful" and "writerly".

Coming up with a write up for the simple sake of a write up does, however, become difficult when we're staring complete lack of creativity right in the face. But apparently asking management to cancel all the deals for the day isn't a viable fix.

As they so delicately put it, it'd be like a comedian having the option to suddenly cancel a show if they're not feeling up to it. Not on our watch, they said. You'll do a write up whether you like it or not, they said. And be funny, they said.

So here we are, doing a write up and being funny.
