Alta Alella Cava Brut Nature Mirgin 2021 Gran Reserva 2021 | Catalonia, Spain | Xarel-lo, Parellada, Macabeu

$40.00

Cristina Guillén and Josep Maria Pujol-Busquets started their passion project in 1991 and are now joined by second generation daughters, Mireia & Georgina. Their terraced vineyards lie within the Serralada de Marina Natural Park, just over a mile from the Mediterranean coast and a short 20-minute drive from Barcelona. The family has farmed organically since 1991, an effort made easier by the park’s rich ecosystem, with protected species of birds and bees that aid in pollination and help ward off disease-causing pests. They seek to produce ‘transparent’ wines that reflect soil and vintage characteristics. This vintage Champagne-method sparkler is a blend of 3 local grapes Xarel-lo, Parellada, Macabeu and showcases bright green apple and citrus fruit, chalky minerality, and savory brioche undertones.
