Alta Alella 'Exeo' Cava De Paraje, Spain, 2015
Grape: 60% Pansa Blanca and 40% Chardonnay
Cava de Paraje Calificado is Cava’s newest and highest classification and is the equivalent to a Grand Cru -it is only awarded to the finest wines from the very best sites. The wines of Alta Alella display finesse and complexity to rival- and even surpass- many top-end Champagnes.The Mirgin Exeo comes from the Paratge Vallcirera-Serra de Mar, which is where Alta Alella lies. The soils are Sailó, so acidic, rough granite sand. Produced only in exceptional years the Exeo is macerated and fermented in 2 and 3 year old barrels and is then aged for over 5 years before being released.
There’s a nice level of toasty aromas plus floral and ripe fruits. It’s creamy with distinct minerality, balanced with the ripe fruits and toast flavors. This is an excellent example of Cava.
“Remarkably powerful, lots of aromas and flavors. The oak is perfectly integrated. On the nose, it has some toasty note I don’t find in the palate. Dry style, I like the mellow texture and the finesse of the mousse. Quite ample with brioche and creamy aftertaste. Very complete and delightful wine. A great vintage!” Janis Robinson.com
An exceptional aperitif, delicious with smoked salmon, prawns, a plate of oysters or roast chicken.
