Conde de Subirats Brut N/V

Region: Cava D.O.
Winery: CONDE DE SUBIRATS

Grapes: 55% Macabeo, 40% Parellada, 5% Chardonnay
Color: Sparkling

This wine is produced from grapes grown in the heart of Sant Sadurni d’Anoia, the birthplace of Cava, among the high altitude hills of the subregion of Espiells. The grapes are harvested early to maintain naturally fresh, crisp acidity and are then fermented, separately in temperature controlled stainless steel to maintain the optimum of bright fruit aromas. The base wines are then blended and bottled with a bit of yeast to age for 18 months on lees prior to disgorging. The dosage is made with the most neutral flavored liquor to allow the flavor of the original grapes to shine. Total residual sugar: 10.5 gm/liter.

Wine & Spirits Magazine 88 A hint of nettle and stoniness balance this wine’s rich flavors of sweet apples and white raspberries. The texture is soft and full. For aperitifs.

Wine Review Online 88 This is cava with character. It’s got floral and fruity notes, and a little bit of biscuit in the background. Although it has a slight hint of sweetness, this bubbly manages to remain wonderfully refreshing. And talk about a bargain!

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar Bonus Features 87 Pale yellow. Aromas of nectarine, orange zest and lemon, with a suggestion of pungent herbs. In a bright, nervy style for a Cava, showing penetrating flavors of bitter citrus and pit fruits. Finishes fruity, firm and persistent, with good cut. Very grown-up and surprisingly stern for the price.
