Suriol Brut Nature Reserva Cava D.O Penedes 2019

This gorgeous grower Cava is the vintage reserva cuvée from Suriol. Its rich personality reveals itself as it breathes and warms, moving from mineral-driven freshness and fine, brioche-tinted bubbles to bone-dry notes of dried apples and white peaches, macadamia nuts & fresh morels. On the finish, honey-like florals, mandarin, and brazil nut.

''A lovely Cava with rich flavours, freshness, and an elegant balance between fine bubbles and notes of bread yeast, honey and citrus. The cuvée is comprised of 40% Macabeo from La Plana, 30% Xarel-lo from L’Hort, and 30% Parellada from Les Carbasses.  The Suriol family has lived and made wine in the same masia, the Castell de Grabuac, in Font-Rubí, Penedés, since the 15th century. Located in the Alt Penedés, the higher elevation wine-growing area of the region, the Suriol vineyards are planted at 250 to 350 meters altitude on "heavy limestone" clay-calcareous soils. The Suriol’s are located in the middle portion of Alt Penedés, which is the sweet spot for Xarel-lo, with Macabeo excelling at the lower elevations and Parellada at the higher elevations.''
