Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

This wine that last year looked like a solera wine, is confirmed this year. The NV Casta Diva Reserva Real 2002 is the bottling from November 2014 that you can see on the back label. The must had a partial fermentation in oak barrels as it was stopped with the addition of alcohol and then added to a solera started in 2002 with a wine that was served at the royal wedding of king Felipe of Spain. The wine has 210 grams of sugar and 13.6% alcohol. Old gold, amber-colored, the nose is really spicy and smoky with aromas of dried apricots and nougat as well as developing diesel notes. It is complex and ever changing with very good depth. In the mouth it tastes of honey, almonds and 'turrón de Jijona' (the Christmas almond paste from the region) and finishes very long and persistent, with great length. This is truly outstanding, turning more balsamic once it's in the glass. While not cheap, this is still good value for the quality it delivers. Some 300 bottles are filled each year.

Features

Description

Casta Diva Reserva Real is a sweet white wine made exclusively from Moscatel de Alejandría grapes by the Bodegas Gutiérrez de la Vega winery under the Alicante appellation of origin.
The grapes with which this wine is made come from vines that reach an average lifespan of 50 years grown on white calcareous marl soils in the town of Jávea.

Elaboration

The grapes are harvested by hand at their optimum ripening point. The grapes are then pressed. The must is put into 225 litre barrels of different oak and continues to ferment slowly until fermentation is stopped with alcohol in order to conserve the necessary sugar.
Finally, it is aged for nine years in French and Hungarian oak casks and lightly filtered before bottling in the barrel. It is not clarified.

Taste

Casta Diva Reserva Real has exquisite aromas. In the mouth it has a very persistent and delicate freshness and a great finish, it is delicious, with a sweetness that thrills!

Undoubtedly a deeply Mediterranean wine.

Casta Diva Reserva Real is a white wine elaborated by the winery Gutiérrez de la Vega with the Moscatel Romano grape with intense and Mediterranean aromas.
In the gastronomic field this wine is perfect as a gift and is ideal especially with sweet desserts, desserts with honey and almonds.
