Mastinell Cava Nature Gran Reserva Brut Nature 2014

More than half a century has passed since we planted our Macabeo, Xarel·lo de Olérdola, and Parellada de Sant Martí Sarroca plots. The original vase-trained (gobelet) vine cultivation system inspires us to seek the ripening perfection that guarantees success every year.

Each variety is vinified separately. In January, we rigorously taste them all and unlock the best combination and composition. After a long aging process, we split the Gran Reserva batch in two. The Brut Real has liqueur d’expédition (dosage) added, but Nature remains untouched, and becomes a wilder version that speaks directly of our lands.

Tasting notes:
Deep and brilliant gold, with notable legs. A highly aromatic intensity with a dot of honey among menthol and citrus notes, wrapped around hints of toasted pastries and almonds. Fresh and structured over an unctuous and weighty base, with a lingering post taste.

Varieties:
40% Macabeo, 40% Xarel·lo, 20% Parellada

Alcohol 12%

Food Pairing:
Potent match with rice dishes, cannelloni, blue fish, grilled seafood, legumes and dishes featuring Spanish cold meats and cured cheeses.
