Description
The history of Celler Kripta Barrica Gran Reserva stems from a firm conviction: that the Macabeu, a variety native to the Penedès region, could give rise to a long-aged sparkling wine with a soul of its own. At Celler Kripta, the connection with the land is absolute. The grapes come exclusively from the historic Pla dels Fidels plot, planted in goblet-trained vines in 1964, at an altitude of 150 metres above sea level. A poor, well-drained, chalky soil, where the climatic balance between sunshine and cool nights allows for a slow ripening process, ideal for capturing acidity and elegance.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-September. The must of Celler Kripta Barrica Gran Reserva is fermented with indigenous yeasts, isolated by the winery itself, in French oak barrels for six months, which adds volume and complexity without detracting from the freshness of the grapes. Subsequently, Celler Kripta Barrica Gran Reserva is aged in the bottle with its lees for 5 years, in the cellars' penumbra, at a constant temperature. With no added sugar(Brut Nature) and no animal fining agents (vegan certification), it is a pure, organic and precise expression of the terroir.
Taste
Celler Kripta Barrica Gran Reserva shows intense notes of ripe white fruit, baked apple, brioche, dried fruit and light toast on the nose. The bubbles are fine and perfectly integrated. On the palate, it is creamy, structured and glyceric, with a vibrant tension supported by a very balanced acidity. Hints of bakery, candied citrus and a mineral background. The finish is long, dry, with an elegant aftertaste of yeast and toasted almonds.
A gastronomic sparkling wine, complex and persistent, perfect for fatty dishes, foie gras, Iberian ham, seafood or spicy Asian cuisine.
