Reserva Particular, Brut Nature 2014

Wine description for Reserva Particular Brut Nature 2014 from Recaredo

Colour & appearance

Light golden yellow with greenish reflections. Fine, persistent perlage with tiny bubbles that bear witness to the long maturation time on the lees - a visual promise of complexity and craftsmanship.

Nose

Remarkably multi-layered: Firstly Freshly baked brioche and Almonds, then ripe yellow apples, Quinces and a fine Citrus note. With air supply Herbal notes, white flowers and a subtle Mineral saltiness, which is reminiscent of the chalky soils of the Alta Penedès.

Palate

Precise and taut, with a crystalline clarity that perfectly epitomises the Brut Nature style. The Xarello grape gives the cava its Mineral backbone and a refreshing Acid structure, while Macabeu for Creaminess and fullness. Flavours of green apple, Hazelnut and Yeast combine with a fine Salty flavour. Despite its maturity, the wine remains lively and full of tension - never heavy.

Departure

Long, dry and elegant with a persistent Minerality and a touch of Citrus peel. The freshness remains present until the end - a Cava that invites you to take the next sip.

Terroir & origin

The grapes come from biodynamically cultivated vineyards in the Alta Penedès, the higher part of the growing area with chalky soils. This altitude ensures cool nights and preserves the freshness and minerality of the grapes.

Grape variety & vinification

Cuvée from Xarello and Macabeu, the classic grape varieties of the region. Long bottle fermentation with Natural cork instead of crown caps - a rarity that allows more oxygen exchange. Traditional Jogging by hand and gentle Disgorging without icing. No dosage at all - Brut Nature in its purest form.

Food pairing suggestions

Perfect for raw fish, Oysters, Scallops or Ceviche. Also excellent for matured Manchego, fried turbot or Risotto with seafood.

Special features

A cava that shows that Spanish sparkling wine can play on a par with great champagne. The consistently biodynamic way of working and the uncompromising manual labour make Recaredo one of the absolute top producers in the region.
