Cava Torello 225 Brut Nature Gran Reserva 2012
SpainAt Torelló they spell tradition with a capital T. The “225” is a wine of finesse and style beginning with a classic mix of estate and cava fruit: macabeo, xarel·lo and parellada all grown at Can Martí. It’s all hand harvested and pressed directly into 225-litre barrel giving the wine its name. It spends a minimum of 30 months there before bottling. The nose is a mix of subtle spice and smoky fruit that previews a richly texture bubble with bright acidity and complex earthy, citrus apple flavours. It is described by the Spanish as a gastronomic Cava due to it lengthy ageing, in this case, 40 months. It’s big enough to serve with beef, lamb chops or even duck.Tasted: 02 December 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $49.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
