Maria Rigol Ordi Brut Nature Cava 2023
Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Penedès, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainThe Brut Nature blends the classic Cava trio of xarel·lo, macabeu, and parellada grapes from the lower coastal Penedès, planted at 200 to 450m. It spends at least 18 months on the lees before disgorgement. It opens with an inviting nose of fresh lemon peel, green apple, and early morning bakery notes. The palate is creamy, with more pear and mango that run out through a mineral finish with a touch of spice and some balancing bitter almond. Cava has been making news lately for making some fairly commercial wines, though this is not one of them. Chill and serve the Spanish way with a few tapas.Tasted: 03 October 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $45.00 | 750ml | select private retailers, restaurants |
