Reserva Classic Penedès 2021 Cava 75cl
The AT Roca Reserva boasts a pale yellow color, enhanced by fine, persistent bubbles. Its pure aroma reveals notes of apple, pear, pastry, and brioche, which blend seamlessly into a creamy, fresh palate that blends fruit, pastry, and mineral undertones, finishing with a hint of salinity. It is fresh, clean, and elegant. AT Roca Reserva is a blend of Macabeu (55%) and Xarel.lo (45%) grapes. The grapes were hand-harvested from 20 organically farmed plots in the Costers d'Ordal sub-zone on limestone, gravel, and clay soils. This wine is produced using the traditional method of sparkling winemaking, the same process used in Champagne. This process is very labor-intensive, as it requires two fermentations (one for the winemaking process, the other for the bubble formation). After the second fermentation, the wine ages for 2 to 3 years in the bottle, resting on its fine lees, which imparts the delightful party and brioche aromas that characterize it. AT Roca produces three different Cava series, all of which are without dosage (Brut Nature) and differ in terms of grapes, vineyards, and aging time. Aging potential: Drink now or age until 2025.
