WINE DESCRIPTION
Vinos de Terrunos German Gilabert Brut Nature Reserva Cava is a distinguished collaboration between JPS and a seasoned vintner deeply rooted in Cava production. The meticulous vinification involves fermentation in stainless steel vats, with the base wine resting on the lees for 45 days. Employing the traditional Methode Classico, the secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle, followed by extended aging on the lees for 18 to 20 months before disgorgement. This Cava, a blend of 50% Macabeo, 30% Xarel-lo, and 20% Parellada, is cultivated in the Mediterranean climate, on sand and limestone soils, at an elevation of 350 meters. The vines, aged between 30-35 years, are cultivated using organic practices. The resulting wine is characterized by its fresh, fine bubbles, delivering citrus and mineral notes. It is medium-bodied, elegant, concentrated, and impressively dry, leaving a long-lasting impression on the palate.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The German Gilabert Cava Reserva Brut Nature is an exceptional sparkling wine from the Cava region of Spain.It displays a pale straw color with fine and persistent bubbles that create an elegant effervescence in the glass.
On the nose, this Cava reveals enticing aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and delicate floral notes. These aromas are complemented by subtle hints of brioche and toasted almonds, adding complexity to the bouquet.
The palate is crisp and refreshing, with a lively acidity that balances the wine's richness. Flavors of ripe pear, lemon, and white peach dominate, accompanied by a mineral undertone that adds depth and structure. The absence of dosage allows the natural flavors of the grapes to shine through, resulting in a bone-dry and clean finish.
The German Gilabert Cava Reserva Brut Nature is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif or paired with a variety of dishes. Its vibrant acidity and delicate flavors make it an excellent companion to seafood, particularly oysters, as well as light salads and fresh cheeses.
