Mestres Gran Reserva Imperial Brut 2012

The very classical-looking 2012 Imperial Gran Reserva is a blend of 50% Xarello with 25% each Macabeo and Parellada. It fermented and matured in barrel for six months and aged in bottle for 40 months. It was adjusted to six grams of sugar. The wine had a textbook nose of freshly baked brioche and cooked apples, balsamic and with a warm sensation. The palate, however, was quite fresh, with balance and tasty flavors. Very classical Cava. 15,000 bottles produced.
