Reserva Particular Brut Nature Cava
The 2014 Reserva Particular, a wine they first produced in 1962, is a blend of 55% Xarel.lo and 45% Macabeo from a selection of vines planted between 1950 and 1955 on limestone, silt and sandy soils. The Xarel.lo fermented in oak barrels and the Macabeo in stainless steel, both with indigenous yeasts (since 2013) and matured in bottle with the lees, where it refermented for 98 months (eight years and two months). It has 12% alcohol, a pH of 3.17 and 4,9 grams of acidity. This is a very complex wine with reductive and yeasty aromas from years in contact with the lees, and it is very classical, with licorice and freshly baked brioche without losing fruit and floral aromas. The palate is very dry, with a strong chalky sensation. They didn't produce this in 2015 or 2016, because they were very warm and dry vintages and they didn't have enough Macabeo. 2014 was also a short vintage. 4,074 bottles produced. It was disgorged in June 2023.
