Agusti Torello Mata Reserva 2013
Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Penedès, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainOlder macabeo, xarello and parellada vines make up this Cava, aged for a minimum of 24 months before disgorging in September 2017 (all of Agusti Torello's wines show the disgorgement date on the back). Dry with yellow fruits, desert pear, and crisp yellow apple, there's ample dusty stoniness on the nose that carries along to the spicy palate. A gingersnap and some dried crystalline orange closes this out. From the Sant Sadurni d'Anoia area, in Alt Penedes, this shows a different, grown-up, savoury dimension to Cava.Tasted: 25 February 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $29.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
