MIM Natura Pinot Noir Rosat Brut Reserva 2021

Wine Description for MIM Natura Pinot Noir Rosat Brut Reserva 2021 from Vins El Cep

Colour & Appearance

A seductive interplay of colour between delicate salmon pink and pale gold, reflecting equally the elegance of Pinot Noir and the extended lees ageing. Fine, persistent mousse.

Nose

Remarkably fresh and precise. Unlike many Blanc de Blancs, the yeast notes here take a subtle back seat, allowing space for crisp red fruits, violets and a hint of almond. A floral, seductive aromatic profile that hints at its origin from organically farmed 35-year-old vines.

Palate

Here the true class of this Cava reveals itself: silky-creamy texture meets mineral freshness. The balance between body, structure, fruit and acidity is excellently calibrated. Despite its expressiveness and full-bodied nature, the MIM remains precise and elegant, never opulent or heavy. A juicy acid thread runs through the wine, keeping it vibrant.

Finish

Enticingly long, with perfectly dosed Brut sweetness that provides harmonious balance without compromising the freshness.

Terroir & Origin

From the Penedès, where Vins El Cep ranks among the most renowned Cava producers. The 35-year-old Pinot Noir vines from organic cultivation lend this Rosé its particular depth and complexity.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Pinot Noir, directly pressed without maceration. Winemaker Maite Esteve uses exclusively free-run juice for maximum finesse. Traditional bottle fermentation with 24 months on lees – hence the Reserva classification. This extended maturation period gives the Cava its creamy texture and complexity.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Perfect with salmon carpaccio, tuna tataki, vitello tonnato or scallops. Also excellent with mild hard cheese or as an elegant aperitif with Bellota ham.

Special Features

A Rosé Cava that demonstrates Spanish sparkling wine from organic cultivation can compete on equal terms with great Champagnes. The focus on finesse rather than power is the guiding principle here.
