Enoteca, Brut Nature 2006

Wine Description for Enoteca Brut Nature 2006 by Gramona

Colour & Appearance

Luminous straw yellow with golden reflections and a remarkably fine, persistent mousse – a silent promise of what awaits in the glass.

Nose

The nose is simply extraordinary: A multi-layered, almost meditative aromatic world unfolds with baked apple, ripe figs and a hint of cocoa. These are joined by earthy notes of wild mushrooms and the nutty depth of roasted Brazil nuts – complex, elegant and of impressive composure.

Palate

On the palate, the Enoteca unfolds with sovereign, almost majestic fullness. Baked apple and cinnamon dominate, carried by a full-bodied structure that retains remarkable freshness despite all its maturity. The balance between depth and vibrancy is the hallmark of this extraordinary Cava.

Finish

Long, silky and of great elegance. The finish invites contemplation – a wine that does not rush, but philosophises.

Grape Variety & Vinification

A blend of Xarel·lo (60%) and Macabeo (40%), the classic star varieties of Penedès. The heart of this wine, however, is time: 160 months – over 13 years – the Enoteca matures on the bottle before it sees the light of day. A patience that manifests itself in every sip. Produced only in selected vintages, in the smallest quantities.

Food Pairing Suggestions

A wine of this complexity demands something equally worthy at the table: roasted duck with sautéed pak choi, grilled sole with nut butter or a selection of creamy cheeses – all worthy partners for this extraordinary Cava.

Special Characteristics

The Enoteca is Gramona’s ultimate statement on the potential of Cava. Smallest quantities, highest ambitions. Whoever drinks this wine will understand that Cava is far more than an aperitif – it is a world-class sparkling wine that need not hide behind any Champagne.
