Conde de Subirats Brut Cava - NV (750ml)

89+ points View from the Cellar

The new release of the Conde de Subirats Cava non-vintage Brut is from the base year of 2022 and is crafted from a cépages of fifty-five percent Macabeu, forty percent Parellada and five percent Chardonnay. The wine was disgorged in November of 2024 and finished with a dosage of 8.5 grams per liter. All of the fruit for this bottling is hand harvested. The wine offers up a refined bouquet of tart pear, lemon peel, a lovely base of chalky minerality, dried flowers, lemongrass and a touch of menthol in the upper register. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and nicely brisk, with a lovely foundation of minerality, good fruit at the core, bright acids, fine balance and grip and a long, complex and very classy finish. The dosage here beautifully buffers the fine girdle of acidity, while the wine gives the impression of an Extra Brut. Fine juice. 2025-2035+.
