MVSA Cava Brut Reserva

This is MVSA's flagship wine, a cava of unparalleled greatness with a very refined mousse. MVSA's winemaker wanted to create a cava that would rival many French Champagnes, and he certainly succeeded. But before that happened, a great deal of work had to be done. The oldest vineyards in the heart of Penedes are in top condition and produce very strong bunches. Their deep roots allow them to absorb a great deal of energy from the rich soil, aiming to produce a full bunch. The climate is also crucial, as the old vines are situated in a unique location. The abundant sunshine from the south-facing slopes gives the grapes a richness. The fresh breeze provides cooling during hot summer days and lends the grapes a natural freshness. This Reserva is also made with Macabeo, Xarel-Lo, and Parellada grapes.

Long maturation for the MVSA Brut Reserva

Once the grapes reach perfect ripeness, they are harvested carefully and with the utmost precision. Early in the morning, they are brought in and each is fermented separately, to be blended later. A task we can leave to MVSA's winemaker, who has a wealth of experience. The bottles are filled with yeast and sugar and aged for at least twenty months in MVSA's magnificent cellars. He has plenty of time to develop and build its bubbles. The mousse, or bubbles, are very soft and elegant, and that is the hallmark of this MVSA Brut Reserva.

Full and very powerful this MVSA Brut Reserva

Upon opening the bottle, we immediately smell an overwhelming aroma of white fruit, roasted toast, almonds, and a hint of spring blossom. Pouring this top-quality cava reveals a deep yellow color with a faint green shimmer. But what's even more striking are the tiny, delicate bubbles that fill the glass. Nosing the glass, we encounter a deep aroma of apricots, peaches, and a hint of freshly baked bread. The palate is superb, very full and creamy with rich flavors of white fruit, vanilla, toast, and roasted nuts. Truly a Reserva quality, unique!
