MIM Natura Pinot Noir Rosat Brut Reserva 2022

Wine Description for MIM Natura Pinot Noir Rosat Brut Reserva 2022 by Vins El Cep

Colour & Appearance

Luminous golden yellow with a delicate reddish shimmer, run through by a very active, consistent and fine perlage.

Nose

A fascinating, precise interplay that immediately reveals the noble Pinot structure. The bouquet shifts elegantly between red forest berries (bilberry, redcurrant, sour cherry) and ripe yellow stone fruit such as quince and mirabelle plum. Behind this lies a subtle, noble autolytic note reminiscent of freshly baked brioche with almond glaze and hazelnut, finely underpinned by dried herbs like chervil and lemon balm.

Palate

On the palate, the Cava presents itself as slender, racy and pleasantly dry. The vibrant acidity stands in perfect balance with a fine phenolics, which gives the wine a grippy, almost chalky character. A wonderfully salty, mineral texture develops, carried by notes of salted almonds and salt dough. The juicy fruit from the nose returns and dances enticingly into a finish characterised by fine bitter notes and immense drinkability.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes ripen in the cool, high-altitude vineyards of the Alta Penedès (200 to 400 metres above sea level) on lime-rich soils. The terroir lends this Cava its distinctive freshness and salty minerality.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Pinot Noir from certified biodynamic cultivation (Demeter). As a proud “Elaborador Integral”, Vins El Cep vinifies this single-vineyard Cava entirely in their own cellar using the traditional method with an ambitious Reserva yeast ageing.

Food Pairings

An excellent food companion to mildly smoked wild salmon, Pata Negra ham, grilled prawns or simply on its own with freshly roasted salted almonds.

Special Features

Vins El Cep is the historic pioneer of biodynamic sparkling wine in Spain. The MIM Natura range impressively demonstrates how much Burgundian elegance and living energy can be found in the Catalan terroir.
