Mirgin Reserva Brut Nature 2021

Wine Description for Mirgin Reserva Brut Nature 2021 from Alta Alella

Colour & Appearance

Pale straw yellow with silver rim and fine, persistent mousse – a visually elegant sparkling wine with Mediterranean lightness.

Nose

Precise and multi-layered: pink grapefruit and green apple meet roasted salted almonds and yeast pastry. Combined with a distinctive maritime note of oyster shells and sea breeze, which unmistakably reveals the coastal proximity of the vineyards. In the background, delicate white peach resonates – a nose with clear provenance identity.

Palate

Creamy mousse that caresses the palate, whilst the wine remains focused and lean. The citrus fruit and green apple skin are carried by pronounced saline notes and deep minerality. Precise acidity provides tension and freshness, white almonds and floral accents lend complexity. Cool, invigorating, uncompromisingly dry.

Finish

Medium-length with herbal-nutty notes that fade elegantly. The minerality remains present, the saline aftertaste reminiscent of Mediterranean proximity.

Terroir & Origin

The vineyards of Alta Alella are located in the small DO Alella, just a few kilometres north of Barcelona, directly on the Mediterranean. The Sauló soils – loose, sandy granite stone – guarantee excellent drainage and impart the wine with its pronounced minerality and maritime signature.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Pansa Blanca (Xarel·lo), hand-harvested and gently pressed. Temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tank, traditional bottle fermentation with a minimum of 18 months on lees. Bottled as Brut Nature without dosage – uncompromisingly dry and authentic.

Food Pairing Recommendations

An ideal aperitif that also shines at table: perfect with fresh oysters, scallops, gambas al ajillo, sushi and sashimi. Also an excellent choice with goat’s cheese, grilled monkfish or salicornia salad.

Special Features

An authentic Cava with clear provenance character and Mediterranean personality. The combination of autochthonous grape variety, mineral granite soils and coastal proximity makes this Brut Nature an independent, terroir-driven sparkling wine far removed from industrial mass production.
