Pere Ventura Tresor Cuvee Barrique Gran Reserva Brut 2019
Penedès, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainA blend of xarel·lo (60%) and chardonnay (40%), a significant portion of the latter is fermented in oak, hence the name of the wine. And, yes, there is a hint of oak spice lingering in the background, but it's far from oaky. It's more about the gold-hued fruit, ripe, rounded, and developing, with a combination of honeyed white peach, dried lemon peel, and russet apple. There's also a savoury undercurrent of hay and mushroom, along with a moderate toastiness from 36 months on its lees, that gives this real depth and complexity. Perceptibly bone-dry (4.5 g/L dosage), the palate shows a fine mousse and chalky texture, with very good length. This is serious value at this price and well worth seeking out. The fruit comes from estate vineyards in the Upper Penedès and Central Penedès, with the xarel·lo planted at an average elevation of 340m and the chardonnay higher at 700m.Tasted: 16 November 2025Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MWPrices:| BC | $32.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
