Mestres, Clos Nostre Senyor, Gran Reserva, D.O. Cava, sparkling white wine, 0.75l
Mestres Clos Nostre Senyor Gran Reserva is an exceptional Cava from the Mestres winery, considered one of their most iconic cuvées!
This Cava is characterised by an exceptionally long production and ageing process. After fermentation and ageing of the wine in barrique barrels, the sparkling wine remains on the lees in the bottle for more than 7-8 years (84-90+ months) using the méthode traditionnelle, which gives the wine a delicate, creamy texture and complexity.
On the nose, wonderful nuances of pastry, dried fruit, cocoa and delicate toasty tones blend together, while on the palate it is dry, elegant and harmonious, with balanced acidity, a fine mousse and a long finish that often recalls stone fruit, nuts and pastry. Overall it makes a very mature and sophisticated impression, ideal for gourmet moments.
Awards:
The wine Clos Nostre Senyor has received 94+ points from Robert Parker for some vintages that stand out for their concentration, complexity and elegance.
Grape variety:
Made from the classic blend of three Catalan varieties: Xarel·lo (~55%), Macabeo (~25%) and Parellada (~20%).
Vineyard:
The grapes come 100% from vineyards owned by the winery, planted in the traditional "plantadas en vaso" style (untrained bush vines), with most vineyards more than 50 years old, in the Penedès (Sant Sadurní d'Anoia) region, where the terroir and climate provide complex aromatics and balanced acidity.
Ageing:
After hand-harvesting, the base wine undergoes primary fermentation and ages on the lees in oak/beech barrels for approximately 10 months. This is followed by secondary fermentation directly in the bottle using the traditional method and a very long ageing on the lees, usually lasting more than 84-90 months (7-8+ years) before disgorgement. Disgorgement is done by hand with no dosage (Brut Nature).
Taste and aroma:
The colour is golden to straw yellow with very fine bubbles. On the nose, elements of pastry, toffee, dried fruit and delicate floral tones come together, with a hint of almonds and spicy mineral nuances. On the palate, dryness dominates, along with a creamy texture, excellent acidity and a long finish with a complex structure that reflects the long ageing on the lees.
Tasting notes:
It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of approximately 10-12°C, ideally as a standalone tasting wine or with sophisticated dishes made from seafood, fish, paella or roast poultry.
