MARIA RIGOL ORDI CAVA BRUT NATURE GRAN RESERVA 2016 — D.O. Cava

Ageing: At least 78 months with a cork stopper. Through long aging, we have reaffirmed our learning: by extending the resting time of the bottles, the wine gains in expressiveness while maintaining an admirable freshness, providing deeper and more complex sensations.

Appearance: Sober and subtle. Notable for its freshness, purity, and austerity. Noble and elegant character.

Aroma: Expressive, rich, and broad on the nose. Aromas of stone fruits and dried apricots. Mediterranean herbs and balsamic touches. The notes of the very long aging stand out sublimely: hazelnut, cocoa, coffee, and spices like curry and saffron.

Palate: Its tactile dimension moves between fine creaminess and tension in the mouth, linked in a delicate balance resulting in a harvest of great refinement. Clarity, purity, and precision. Marked marine character that evokes a metallic salinity. Verticality and tension in the mouth. The carbonic has completely fused into the wine, and the velvety texture that caresses the palate contrasts with a dry, sharp finish and vibrant acidity, ending in a saline aftertaste.

Food pairing: This is a fully gastronomic wine. It is perfect for accompanying an entire tasting menu, a grand meal. It is ideal for making a moment unforgettable.
