Agusti Torello Mata

KRIPTA Cava Gran Reserva 2014

$98

This flagship, prestige cuvee from Agusti Torello Mata is as beautiful as it is unique. Recognized as one of the top sparklers in the world, it is a blend of 45%, Macabeu, 35% Parellada, and 20% Xarel·lo from old vines, hand-riddled and disgorged, having spent 96 months on the lees and packaged in a STUNNING amphora-shaped bottle. Each bottle has the precise date of disgorgement. In the glass, this bubbly is pale yellow with golden highlights and fine bubbles. The aroma features creamy notes of ripe fruit, vanilla, and soft toasty nuances, and a slight balsamic note. Fine and elegant on the palate with a soft, silky texture and a background of vanilla, ripe fruit, toast, and truffle. With its very long and complex finish, it is ideal to accompany rich foods: caviar, fish, meat, foie gras, and semi-cured cheese.
