Wine description for Clos Gelida 4 Heretats, Brut Nature Gran Reserva 2018 from Vins El Cep

Colour & appearance

Presented in a bright lemon yellow colour with green reflections. The perlage is even and elegant, the mousse is subtle and fine-pored - a visual expression of precision craftsmanship.

Nose

A complex spectrum of flavours unfolds: chalky minerality dominated, supported by the characteristic Yeast notes the 40-month bottle fermentation. Maritime elements such as fresh algae, Spray and Oyster shell give the cava its unmistakable personality. Fruity accents of Lemon, Lime and yellow apple round off the bouquet.

Palate

Bone dry and of impressive linearity. The Present acid structure gives the wine energy and tension, while its stony minerality reflects its origins in four different terroirs. The maritime character continues on the palate, complemented by an increasingly ethereal breeze in the finish.

General information

This Gran Reserva combines the expertise of four owner families and their best terroirs. The cuvée from 50% Xarel-lo, 20% Macabeu, 15% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir benefited from the ideal 2018 vintage with its cool autumn. With only 0.5g/l residual sugar and 6.4g/l acidity, the wine is perfectly balanced.

Food pairing suggestions

The maritime embossing makes it the ideal companion for Oysters, Scallops and Sashimi. Also to grilled sea bass, Goat cheese or as an aperitif with Jamón Ibérico an excellent choice.

Special features

An authentic expression of the Cava tradition that has developed an extraordinary complexity thanks to its four origins and long ageing on the lees. The perfect synthesis of terroir expression and artisanal mastery - a Cava of international calibre.
