Argent Rosé, Brut Nature 2019

Wine Description for Argent Rosé Brut Nature 2019 from Gramona

Colour & Appearance

Seductive onion skin pink in the glass, interwoven with a fine, persistent perlage that testifies to the long maturation period on the lees. The mousse presents itself elegantly and restrained – a visual promise of finesse.

Nose

Complex aromatic interplay between yeast autolysis aromas and fresh fruit: redcurrants, raspberries and white strawberries merge with notes of brioche and fresh herbs. A floral component lends lightness to the bouquet, whilst the yeast notes contribute depth and substance.

Palate

Here the true class of this Pinot Noir Cava reveals itself: filigree yet powerful at once. Rose petals and redcurrant fruit are accompanied by a pronounced herbal spice. The perlage caresses the palate, building continuously. The interplay of vibrant acidity and nutty nuances lends the wine remarkable structure and length.

Finish

Persistent and precise. The herbal spice and nutty notes remain present for a long time, whilst the acidity provides freshness and tension right to the end. Remarkably dry due to the absence of dosage – a statement for purists.

Terroir & Origin

Originating from the single vineyard Mas Escorpí, a 23-year-old vineyard with restrictive 2,000 kg/ha yields. This low yield concentrates aromas and structure – the foundation for this exceptional Cava.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Pinot Noir – a bold choice for Cava. Only 50% of the must is gently pressed from whole grapes to minimise tannin extraction. Fermentation under temperature control in French oak barrels (300 and 600 litres). 30 months bottle ageing under natural cork, hand-riddled and disgorged. Brut Nature – no dosage, no compromise.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Brilliant as an aperitif. Harmonises wonderfully with salt-baked celeriac with grapefruit marmalade, tagliatelle with fresh truffle or sophisticated vegetarian dishes. The herbal spice and acidity make it the ideal companion for seafood and sashimi.

Special Features

The Argent Rosé impressively demonstrates that Gramona achieves world-class standards even beyond the classic Catalan grape varieties. A Pinot Noir Cava of rare elegance and complexity – Champagne standards at Cava prices.
