D.O.Penedes/AT Roca,Matria 0.75l
Limited production, long ageing and honest craftsmanship in every bottle!
AT Roca Matria represents the pinnacle of craft sparkling wine production and a unique expression of the Xarel·lo variety. It is made from grapes coming from two historic, organically farmed vineyards in the Alt Penedès area, where limestone-clay soils rich in marine fossils give the wine pronounced minerality and an unmistakable character. Thanks to the traditional production method, long ageing on the lees for at least 50 months and very limited production, Matria offers a remarkably complex and elegant tasting experience.
In the glass it captivates with a fine, creamy mousse, a rich aroma of ripe fruit, citrus and delicate pastry notes. On the palate it is fresh, mineral and perfectly balanced, with a long finish that reflects the meticulous work of the winemakers and the uniqueness of the terroir. Matria is an ideal choice for lovers of premium sparkling wines who seek authentic character, precise craftsmanship and an exceptional experience in every glass.
Grape variety: 100 % Xarel·lo
Vineyard:
The grapes come from two historic vineyards in the Sant Sebastià dels Gorgs area in the Alt Penedès region. The vineyards were planted in 1940 and 1969 on clay-limestone soils rich in marine fossils, which give the wine a pronounced mineral character. They are farmed organically and regeneratively, with an emphasis on preserving the natural character of the terroir.
Ageing:
The wine is made using the traditional method of secondary fermentation in the bottle. The base wines ferment using native yeasts and age in older 500-litre French oak barrels. Secondary fermentation takes place using fresh must from the following harvest, which gives the wine natural sugars and yeasts. The wine then ages for at least 50 months on the lees. Riddling and disgorging are done by hand without freezing. Matria is made as Brut Nature, with no added dosage liqueur, and is not filtered or fined.
The wine is made using the solera method, thanks to which each bottle blends wines from several vintages. The base of the solera was established in 2015 from the Xarel·lo variety coming from two historic, organically farmed vineyards. Each year part of the wine is drawn off for a new batch and replenished with wine from the current harvest, thanks to which Matria retains its unique style, depth and remarkable complexity. This traditional method of ageing gives the wine harmony, elegance and a character that continues to develop with each new batch.
Taste and aroma:
The aroma shows notes of ripe stone fruit, citrus and delicate minerality complemented by notes of dried fruit, pastry and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate the wine is complex, elegant and precisely structured, with a creamy, fine mousse, pronounced freshness and a long mineral finish. Thanks to its long ageing it offers remarkable depth, harmony and a pure expression of the Xarel·lo variety.
Tasting notes:
The recommended serving temperature is 6–8 °C. Thanks to its complexity, fine mousse and pronounced mineral character, it goes excellently with oysters, seafood, grilled fish, fish tartare, sushi or delicate Mediterranean dishes. It also pairs wonderfully with mature cheeses or truffle dishes. Thanks to its depth, elegance and long finish, you can also enjoy it on its own as a festive aperitif or on special occasions.
