Magnum del Centenari Brut Nature 2018 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Magnum del Centenari Brut Nature 2018 1500ml Magnum by Recaredo

Colour & Appearance

Pale golden yellow with greenish reflections. The perlage is exceptionally fine and persistent – a sign of the lengthy maturation on the lees. In magnum format, the mousse displays itself even more precisely and elegantly.

Nose

Complex, multi-layered bouquet that immediately reveals the hallmark of a great sparkling wine. Notes of roasted almonds, brioche and freshly baked bread meet white flowers, citrus peel and a hint of chamomile. With air contact, mineral nuances of chalk and damp stone develop – a reflection of the higher elevations of Alta Penedès.

Palate

Precise, taut, with vibrant acidity and impressive length. The Brut Nature philosophy reveals itself in all its clarity: no dosage obscures the pure character of this Cava. Lemon, green apple and peach merge with yeasty notes and a saline minerality. The texture is creamy, almost silky, whilst freshness remains ever present. Remarkably well-balanced despite the moderate 11.5% alcohol.

Finish

Long, dry and carried by a saline minerality that resonates for minutes afterwards. The yeasty aromas fade elegantly, accompanied by citrus fruits and a fine bitter note of almond skin.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes come from the higher-altitude vineyards of Alta Penedès, where cooler temperatures and chalky soils provide freshness and minerality. Biodynamic viticulture lends the wine additional depth and authenticity.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Traditional bottle fermentation with extended lees ageing. All bottles are hand-riddled and disgorged – without freezing the bottle neck. Natural cork rather than crown cap underscores the artisanal ambition. Bottled without dosage.

Food Pairing Recommendations

A Cava for discerning occasions: perfect with oysters, scallops, sashimi or sushi. Also an excellent choice with pan-fried turbot, langoustines or aged Manchego.

Special Features

The magnum format guarantees slower, more harmonious maturation. A rarity that demonstrates Spanish sparkling wine can stand shoulder to shoulder with great Champagnes.
