Gran Torelló
Brut Nature 2016

Varieties: 48% Xarel.lo, 47% Macabeo and 5% Parellada from our vines in Can Martí.

Production:The grapes from selected vineyards for this sparkling wine, arrives whole at the cellar and, before passing all the grapes over the selection table, a separate soft pressing is done of each variety. We use the Inertys technology in our presses which protects the juice from oxidation during the pressing phase. In winter we do the assemblage of the different varieties, the bottling and afterwards the second fermentation in the bottle that takes place with natural cork.

Aging:aged on lees for more than 72 months with natural cork. Every year we do the poignettage (agitation of the bottle), which makes that the yeasts mix again with the wine. Due to that, the sparkling wine is being enriched in aromas and flavors. Manual clarification in pupitres. Disgorging without sugar addition.

Presentation: 75cl, Magnum and Jeroboam.

Tasting Note: “The nose of the 2016 Gran Torelló Brut Nature was like entering a bakery with aromas of freshly baked brioche, bread dough, toasted bread and a mixture of flowers, herbs and white fruit. It’s attractive, clean and elegant, with a balanced palate and very fine bubbles from the over 80 months the wine spent with lees in bottles closed with natural cork after re-fermenting. It’s complex and delicious.” Luís Gutiérrez, Spanish Wine Taster for Robert Parker – The Wine Advocate.
