Winemaking Notes: Each grape variety is harvested, crushed and fermented separately in stainless steel tanks at low temperature, with coupage in November, tirage and second fermentation in the bottle for a minimum of two years. The wine is aged for at least 12 months on its lees. No dosage.
Tasting Notes: With no dosage, the Brut Nature is a bone-dry, mineral driven expression of Cava with balancing weight to round out the beautifully persisten acidity.
"Pale green-tinged yellow. A suave, highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh citrus and orchard fruits and pungent flowers, and a suave floral note builds in the glass. Silky and penetrating on the palate, offering intense Meyer lemon and green apple flavors that deepen on the back half. The floral quality repeats on a long, nervy finish that shows very good clarity and final bite." - Josh Raynolds, Vinous
Pair with fried smelts, fried calamari, soft cheeses, fresh fruit, roast chicken, or sip on its own.
