Torelló Ancestral
Brut Nature 2021

Varieties: 73% Xarel·lo and 27% Macabeu from Can Martí estate.

Production: The bunches arrive 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. IThis is an ancestral sparkling wine where the first and only fermentation takes place in the same bottle. The 13th of September 2021 just 762 litres of half-fermented must were bottled, which resulted in 1016 bottles.

Aging: 36 months in the bottle. Each year we do the poignettage – shaking the bottle – with the objective of mixing the yeast with the wine again. In this way we enrich the sparkling wine with aromas and tastes. It is a Brut Nature without the addition of sugars, and the date of disgorging is indicated on the back label.

Presentation: 75cl

Tasting note: It appears clean and brilliant to the eye, with a pale gold colour, and has a constant emission of microbubbles which form a rosary. To the nose it is aromatically rich, highlighting Mediterranean herbs, notes of aniseed, mature apple and a depth of fine-yeast brioche. On the palate it is dry, with a marked refreshing acidity, citric notes and lemon pear. In the mouth, the bubbles give the sensation of well-integrated mousse. An ancestral that is long and elegant in the mouth.
