2012 Mas Bertran X80 Brut Cava

This 2012 Mas Bertran X80 Brut Cava is an exceptional sparkling wine that celebrates indigenous grape varieties and the enduring legacy of old vines, offering a refined and balanced expression of Clàssic Penedès.

The meticulous winemaking process involves hand-picking the grapes, gentle skimming, and manual selection to ensure only the finest fruit is used. Fermentation is carried out at cool temperatures to preserve the aromatic purity, followed by an extended lees ageing period (up to 120 months) to develop depth and complexity. The result is a sparkling wine with fine, persistent bubbles and an elegant structure.

Rich in character and steeped in tradition, X80 Brut Cava impresses with a golden yellow hue and a clean, delicate bouquet of white fruit, pastry, and baked apple. The palate is vinous and full-bodied, featuring a crisp, silky texture that unfolds into a deep, expansive aftertaste. This wine is a testament to the art of minimal intervention and the expressive power of time-honoured techniques.

Pairing Suggestions: Ideal with gourmet seafood, creamy risottos, light white meats, or refined cheese boards.
