Cava Gran Caus Clímax Rosé Brut Nature 2018
Availability: In stock
This refined Spanish sparkling wine is produced exclusively from Pinot Noir vineyards planted in the very heart of the Garraf Massif, at a distance of 15 kilometres from the Mediterranean sea.
The area is a dry mountain range with limestone soils peppered with marine fossils. This fact imparts Gran Caus Clímax Rosé Brut Nature a distinctively saline quality, a trait shared by all of the wines of the Can Ràfols dels Caus winery.
Harvested by hand, the grapes were first macerated for a short period of time and then fermented in stainless steel tanks. Then this Rosé Brut Nature was bottled, after which it completed secondary fermentation and a 30 month aging period. This organic sparkling wine is bone dry; thus, no sugar was added to it after the disgorgement.
The result is Gran Caus Clímax Rosé Brut Nature 2018, a simply irresistible Mediterranean sparkler.
Appearance | The sparkling wine Gran Caus Clímax Rosé Brut Nature is deep salmon with some rosy tinges. |
---|---|
Nose | In a word: seductive. This varietal Pinot Noir carries delicate aromas of red berries and aromatic herbs over a creamy and smokey background. There is also a gentle mineral note. |
Palate | This bubbly from Can Ràfols dels Caus is bone dry, with a smooth texture, some tiny bubbles and a crisp acidity. Wild berries, Mediterranean garrigue, a fleck of pastry, and some mineral and salty tips. Very good acidity and long, yummy finish. |
Our personal opinion | Elegant and fresh, Gran Caus Clímax Brut Nature Rosé 2018 is a great choice to accompany a whole meal. |
