Cava Gran Reserva Brut Nature 2015

Two data out of all to qualify this very interesting Cava proposed by Maria Rigol Ordi. This is an Organic sparkling wine, like many among those produced by the Spanish newcomers, and it is a very respectable classic method, achieved by aging on the lees for a full 48 months before disgorging. We are talking about Gran Reserva Brut Nature, a vintage wine whose base cuvée is composed of the three grapes typical for the type. Indeed, in this case, the dominant grape is Xarel-lo, at 40 percent, followed by Macabeo, 35 percent, and Parellada for the remaining 25 percent. A very pleasant sparkling wine, in the glass it reveals a fine and persistent perlage that makes it fresh and immediate. The nose reveals great verticality, with mineral sensations, hints of hazelnuts, peach, apricot and apple. Then Mediterranean herbs, such as rosemary and thyme. There is no shortage of typical bread crust and hints of toast, coffee and spicy notes. In the mouth it is pleasantly creamy and refined. Good intensity and structure. A certainly gastronomic wine that should by no means be relegated to aperitif time alone. On the table, it accompanies both fish and meat dishes with simplicity. Excellent with classic Catalan lobster.
