Product Description
Details

The flagship Spanish sparkling wine of bodega AT Roca, Finca Els Gorchs Brut Nature Gran Reserva is sourced from a single parcel, Finca Els Gorchs, planted with over 60-year-old Macabeo and Xarel·lo vines, grown in soils composed of limestone and lutites.

This premium Clàssic Penedès organic sparkling wine was vinified with the utmost care.

The grapes were hand-picked and selected, and then each variety was separately fermented in stainless steel tanks. After that, this Brut Nature sparkling wine was first aged for 8 months in barrels.

The the sparkling wine Finca Els Gorchs Brut Nature Gran Reserva 2014 completed secondary fermentation in the bottle and was and aged for 100 months before the disgorgement.

Impressively complex and refined, this sparkling wine from Penedès is perfect for a celebration.

Appearance

The organic sparkling wine Finca Els Gorchs Brut Nature Gran Reserva is medium straw with some golden reflections. 

Nose

Detailed and characteristic, this blend of Macabeo and Xarel·lo brings aromas of ripe pears and apples, with subtle notes of pastry, English custard, curry and fennel, evolving into smoke, herbs and citrus. Very appealing.

Palate

This organic Clàssic Penedès from bodega AT Roca is textured, smooth and vibrant, with some minuscule bubbles, a solid backbone of acidity and an old-style elegance. Citrusy and floral, with some spicy and autolytic notes, hints of herbs and baked wheat and very long finish with some mineral and bitter notes.

Our personal opinion

Definitely underpriced, the sparkling wine Finca Els Gorchs Brut Nature Gran Reserva 2014 is one of the latest additions to the ever-growing catalogue of world-class sparkling wines from Catalonia.

Amazing precision and detail, not an ersatz Champagne by any means, but being very much its own man.
