Tasting Notes

In the heart of the Penedes, near the town of Sant Sadurni d’Anoia, Agustí Torelló Mata produces a range of high quality Cava, perhaps most notably for Kripta, unique for its extended ageing and handmade amphora shaped bottle.

Agustí Torelló Mata is family owned and run, and they produce Cava which are highly regarded by some of Spain’s most famous restaurants. The production of Agustí Torelló Mata is very limited due, among other things, to the age of their vines

This lovely rosé sparkling wine is made from 100% Trepat grapes -- an indigenous varietal in the Penedes with some similarites to Pinot Noir -- hand-picked from the Ubac estate vineyard in Sant Joan de Mediona. The base wine had about 8hrs skin contact to extract colour, then a temperature-controlled fermentation over about 28 days with yeasts present on the grapes.

Second fermentation took place in the bottle with a minimum of 24 months aging on the lees. Bottles are disgorged individually, and only when required for market to ensure optimum condition of the finished wine.

Bottled "Brut" with approximately 6.12g/L residual sugar. Alcohol content: 11.5%/vol. The vineyards are certified organic and the wine is certified vegan.

Our Tasting Note: Attractive cherry-pink colour, with slight purple tinges. Fine and persistent bubbles that evolve slowly in the glass. Aromas and flavours of wild fruits - strawberry/raspberry - with slight herbal (mint) notes. Balanced and rich, with good structure and a long and elegant finish.

Pairing suggestions: Perfect appetizer wine, or with seafood, risotto, charcuterie, and fruity desserts.
