Torelló 225 Enoteca 2015 Brut Nature

Varieties: 47% Xarel·lo, 33% Macabeu and 20% Parellada from our Can Martí estate.

Production: Once all the grapes have passed over the sorting table, we press each variety separately, softly, making use of just the first pressing, the “mosto flor” (free run juice). We have incorporated Inertys technology into our presses, which protects the must from oxidations during the grape-pressing phase. Wine matured in 225 litres Allier oak barrel. Second fermentation in bottle.

Aging: More of nine years in the bottle. Each year we do the poignettage – moving 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.

Presentations: 75 cl.

Tasting note: The library release 2015 225 Enoteca Brut Nature comes from a powerful year that delivered very healthy grapes after a long summer and an early harvest. This had over nine years in bottle with lees. It was produced with 47% Xarel·lo, 33% Macabeo and 20% Parellada. It has more complexity and yeast, toast and smoky notes, apple-tart aromas and a fresh and balanced palate with pungent flavors and a dry finish. Luís Gutiérrez – Robert Parker/The Wine Advocate.
