WINE DESCRIPTION
Casteller Cava Brut Rosado is a delicious sparkling wine made using the traditional method, which involves a second alcoholic fermentation in bottle. The wine is matured on its lees (yeast) for around 12 months before release, which helps create a softer mousse and more delicate bubbles. Casteller Cava Brut Rosado is made from the lesser-known Trepat grape which is unique to the southwest of Barcelona. This deeper colored, more characterful rosé sparkling wine showcases the delicacy and freshness of the higher elevation Alt Penedés subregion of Penedés.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Casteller Cava Brut Rosado has a medium pink-ruby color with bubbles that form a fine bead.On the nose, the wine is immediately inviting with aromas of fresh red berries, such as strawberries and raspberries, along with floral notes of rose petals. There is also a subtle hint of citrus, adding a refreshing touch. The palate is crisp and lively, with a firm core of acidity balanced by a touch of sweetness. The red fruit flavors continue to shine, accompanied by a touch of yeastiness and a delicate floral undertone.
