Mas Macia Cava Brut - A fresh and nicely creamy easy to drink Cava with complex flavours of apples and stone fruits and some nutty, yeasty notes from time on the lees. Good acidity and a long, savoury finish.
The beautiful 60 hectare Can Macia estate has been bottling Cava since 1936 but until recently the family sold most of their production as grapes or wine to other Catalan producers. Following extensive investment in the cellars in 2000, the main emphasis has been on high quality estate-bottled wines. Mas Macia is produced with the three classic grape varieties: Macabeo, Xarel lo and Parellada, using the traditional Cava method. The finished Cava has very small, fine, persistent bubbles, which are a result of the low temperatures in the wine cellar where fermentation takes place. The wine is matured for 24 months before bottling to enhance the complex, fruity aromas.
Excellent on its own as a party wine or try with salted almonds.
