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.
