Agusti Torello Mata Brut Reserva Cava 2018

Organic

This organically farmed Estate fruit Cava is way more serious than you may be used to. The wine spends three years on the lees and is only disgorged when the US importer places their order. This results in a richer, more complex style of Cava that displays some serious brioche. A blend of 37% Parellada, 35% Macabeu and 28% Xarel-lo, the vintage-dated 2018 Brut Reserva was disgorged in December of 2021, having spent three years on the lees. The resulting wine is an excellent example of what Cava can be. The nose is clean and fruity with hints of apple, caramel and fresh herbs. The palate is elegant and balanced with well-integrated bubbles and excellent balance. Four grams dosage, 5.9 acidity and only 11.5% alcohol. Yum!

Food pairing: At any time. Ideal as an aperitif. Goes well with fish, seafood cream soup, white meat, goat cheese and desserts.

Torelló Mata uses only fruit from vines that are a minimum of 30 years old.
