AT Roca, Brut Reserva, D.O. Penedes, Cava, white sparkling wine, 0.75l
Brut Reserva from AT Roca is an elegant sparkling wine from the Penedès region made using the traditional method, in which secondary fermentation takes place directly in the bottle after the first fermentation. The grapes are pressed cold, directly and without destemming. The base wine ages 7 months in stainless-steel tanks and in 500-litre barrels of French oak. Secondary fermentation with concentrated must and at least 20 months ageing on the lees. Manual riddling in tanks and disgorgement without freezing. No dosage liqueur is added.
During ageing the yeast undergoes autolysis, which gives the wine a creamier structure and a deeper aromatic profile, while retaining its fresh fruity character reminiscent of green apple, pear and citrus and the elegance typical of wines from the calcareous soils of this region.
Grape variety: 55% Macabeu and 45% Xarel·lo – traditional varieties of the Penedès region.
Vineyard:
The grapes come from vines more than 35 years old in the Penedès area (Costers d'Ordal), where the vineyards are planted on calcareous soils typical of this region. The vines are grown organically, with an emphasis on respect for nature and terroir. The harvest is done by hand.
Ageing:
The wine is made using the traditional method (méthode traditionnelle), i.e. with secondary fermentation directly in the bottle. The grapes are pressed cold, directly and without destemming. The base wine ages 7 months in stainless-steel tanks and in 500-litre barrels of French oak. Secondary fermentation with concentrated must and at least 20 months ageing on the lees. Manual riddling in tanks and disgorgement without freezing. No dosage liqueur is added.
Taste and aroma:
The bouquet reveals fresh fruity notes reminiscent of green apple, pear and citrus, complemented by delicate hints of white flowers. Thanks to ageing on the lees, there are also light notes of pastry and almonds. In the mouth the wine is dry, lively and harmonious, with a more pronounced mousse and more pronounced minerality typical of the calcareous soils of the Penedès region. The finish is medium to long, fresh, with a pleasant fruity close.
Tasting notes:
The recommended serving temperature is 6–8°C. The wine is great as an aperitif, but also with seafood, fish, light starters or tapas.
