Maria Rigol Ordi 2016 Gran Reserva Cava Brut Nature 750ml
Through long aging, we have reaffirmed our understanding: prolonging the resting time of the bottles, the wine gains in expressiveness and, in turn, retains a commendable freshness that provides deeper and more complex sensations. Solemn and subtle. It stands out for its freshness, purity and austerity. Noble and elegant character. Its mouthfeel ranges from fine creaminess to tension, and is bound in a delicate balance that results in a vintage of great refinement.
Clarity, purity and precision. Marked marine character that evokes a metallic salinity. Verticality and tension on the palate. Expressive, rich and broad on the nose. Aromas of stone fruit and dried apricots. Mediterranean herbs and balsamic touches. The notes of the extremely long ageing stand out sublimely: hazelnut, cocoa, coffee and spices such as curry and saffron. On the palate, the carbon dioxide has completely melted into the wine and the velvety texture that caresses the palate is counterbalanced by a dry, sharp finish with vibrant acidity that ends with a saline aftertaste. Time in a bottle.
