Wine description for Mirgin Rose Reserva Brut Nature 2021 from Alta Alella
- Colour & Appearance
- Delicate, salmon-pink rosé with persistent fine, lively effervescence. Crystal-clear brilliance in the glass.
- Nose
- Captivating red fruit and floral notes: wild strawberries, raspberries and pomegranate seeds dominate the bouquet. Delicate citrus notes lend freshness and complexity. Remarkable is the restraint of autolytic notes despite extended yeast ageing – the fruit remains ever at the forefront and preserves its elegance.
- Palate
- Fruity-herbal on the attack: lingonberries, rosehips, pomegranate and raspberries continue the aromatic line. Bone-dry, the fruit presents itself, carried by a saline-tinged extract with vibrant minerality. The fine-bubbled mousse enlivens the palate and lends the wine a high-frequency, almost electrifying tension.
- Finish
- Long, mineral-saline with lingering fruit freshness. The acidity remains present and invigorating.
- Terroir & Origin
- The coastal vineyards of DO Alella near Barcelona lie on sandy and granite soils, which impart the wine’s characteristic salty minerality. The Mediterranean climate with maritime influence shapes its fresh, elegant character.
- Grape Variety & Vinification
- Pure Mourvèdre (100%), vinified as a rosé. Following hand-harvesting and gentle pressing, the base wine was aged in stainless steel. The second fermentation took place traditionally in the bottle, followed by extended yeast ageing. Dosed as Brut Nature without any added sugar – an uncompromisingly dry sparkling wine.
- Food Pairing Suggestions
- More than just an aperitif: Pairs beautifully with raw tuna, sashimi, oysters, seafood carpaccio, vitello tonnato or summer salads with strawberries and goat’s cheese. The salty minerality harmonises perfectly with Mediterranean cuisine.
- Special Features
- An extraordinary single-varietal Mourvèdre sparkling wine from a little-known Catalan appellation. The combination of coastal terroir, extended yeast ageing and Brut Nature dosage creates a sparkling wine with pronounced personality and sense of place.
