Product Description
Details

Produced in Penedès, the Cava Kripta Icònic Gran Reserva (previously known as Agustí Torelló Mata Gran Reserva Brut Nature) is made from a traditional blend of Cava varieties: 50% Parellada, 36% Macabeo and 14% Xarel·lo, all of coming from vines around 30 years of age.

Carefully vinified, after completing alcoholic fermentation this Spanish sparkling wine was aged on lees for 3 months.

Then this organic Cava of the Agustí Torelló Mata (Celler Kripta) winery was blended, bottled and went through secondary fermentation. Finally, the Cava Kripta Icònic Gran Reserva 2017  was aged for 72 months before its commercial release.

This blended Brut nature Cava was added no shipping-liquor or sugar after the disgorgement.

The disgorging date of this Brut Nature Gran Reserva Cava is printed on the back label.

Additional Information
Appearance

The Cava Kripta Icònic Gran Reserva is medium straw with greenish tinges.

Nose

Subtle and lively, this blend of Parellada, Macabeo and Xarel·lo carries aromas of butter, pastry, cooked fruit and citrus, combined with notions of dry fruit, bitter herbs and some mineral suggestions.

Palate

Creamy, savoury and fresh, this vegan cava of bodega Agustí Torelló Mata (Celler Kripta) is delicately toasted and buttery, with a fleck of dry fruit, citrus and aromatic herbs. Tiny, melting bubbles, well-balanced acidity and long finish.

Our personal opinion

A modern classic from Penedès, the cava Kripta Icònic Gran Reserva 2017 is elegant, well-crafted and excellently priced.
