Freixenet 'Casa Sala' Gran Reserva Brut Nature 2005
Penedès, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainReally enjoyed sipping the Casa Sala Nature '05 from its pale yellow colour to its creamy pear fruit, baked apples and nutty salty finish. It is a touch on gout anglais English side the styling is deliberately old fashion from its hand-picked fruit to the use of a 100-year old press. The blend is 75/25 parellada/xarel.lo and its spends some fifty months on its lees before it is hand riddled, disgorged and topped by hand. Artisanal and delicious. Try it with a seafood risotto or grilled fish.Tasted: 07 December 2013Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $20.00 | 750ml | srp |
