Mirgin Rose Reserva Brut Nature 2021

Wine Description for Mirgin Rose Reserva Brut Nature 2021 from Alta Alella

Colour & Appearance

Delicate, clear salmon pink with fine, persistent perlage – a sparkling wine that signals elegance from the moment it touches the glass.

Nose

Seductively red-fruited and fragrant: wild strawberries, raspberry and pomegranate seeds open the bouquet with fine precision. Delicate citrus zest provides a fresh counterpoint. Despite the extended yeast ageing, the autolysis remains subtle in the background – the fruit always commands attention.

Palate

Bone dry and vibrant with liveliness: cranberry, rosehip and pomegranate create a clear fruit arc, supported by a saline, mineral foundation. The fine mousseux lends the wine energy and texture – it practically demands to be poured again.

Finish

Long, dry and with persistent minerality – no sugar, no compromises. A finish that makes the granite and sandy soils of its origin distinctly apparent.

Terroir & Origin

The DO Alella, a small coastal wine region immediately north of Barcelona, is renowned for its granite and sandy soils under Mediterranean influence. Proximity to the sea brings freshness and salinity – both are directly reflected in the wine.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Mourvèdre, hand-harvested and gently pressed, vinified as a rosé. Maturation in stainless steel to preserve fruit integrity, followed by classical bottle fermentation with extended yeast ageing. No dosage sugar – Brut Nature in its purest form.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Far more than an aperitif: Excellent with grilled prawns, Jamón Ibérico or Burrata with tomatoes. The saline minerality makes it an ideal companion for oysters and seafood. Also a convincing choice with light lamb dishes or goat’s cheese.

Special Features

A Mourvèdre rosé as Cava – that is a rarity. Alta Alella demonstrates that the often underestimated DO Alella is capable of producing sparkling wines of distinctive character and serious quality. Not a mass-market product, but a wine with integrity.
