Appearance

The enticing Cava Mestres Clos Damiana Gran Reserva is deep straw with some grey tinges and amber glints.

Nose

Complex and multilayered, this blend of Xarel·lo, Macabeo and Parellada nicely harmonizes the fruit, the wood, and the tertiary aromas coming from the long ageing. Sugar-coated fruit, citrus peel, vanilla, honey and candied almonds, punctutated by notions of aromatic herbs, smoke, patisserie, cinnamon and spices.

Palate

Fresh and creamy, this cava brut nature gran reserva from bodega Mestres is richly layered, elegant and structured. Extremely gentle, microscopic bubbles, and crisp acidity. Very long finish, with remembrancesof citrus, spices, and dry fruit.

Our personal opinion

Absolutely superb, theCava Mestres Clos Damiana Gran Reserva 2009 will make a phantastic pairing with, for instance, a herb-roast turkey.

World-class sparkler. A great wine in its own right, with an amazing curry-ish note.
