Llopart Brut Nature Reserva Cava 2019

Description

No longer part of Cava, Llopart are a family winery producing top-quality Spanish sparkling wine organically and in the traditional (Champagne) method.

One of the nine ‘breakaway’ producers who have formed their own brand, Corpinnat, Llopart aimed to differentiate themselves from some of the low-quality sparkling wine allowed by Cava DO.

While this presents an exciting new phase for the estate, the wines really are the star of the show. Beautifully acidic, with white-fleshed fruits and toasted nuts on the palate, they are delicate and creamy expressions of this woefully underrated Spanish wine. Plus with them being 100% certified organic, what's not to like!

The roots of Llopart can be traced all the way back to 1385 when Llopart ancestor Bernardus Leopardi was granted some vineyards in the Subirats region of Catalonia. And the importance of family is still strong today, with Pere Llopart keenly watching over their wines even in his 89th year

The Llopart Reserva Brut Nature is an elegant Cava, a very bright pale straw-yellow colour. It displays a fine, constant mousse and a very clean aroma which balances to perfection the subtle fruit notes with the tertiary aromas acquired from ageing. On the palate, it is light and fine, fresh and unctuous, completely dry, smooth and with pleasant nuances from ageing. A very versatile Cava, ideal for both drinking on its own and for accompanying any type of dish.
