Agustí Torelló Mata Barrica Gran Reserva 2014
We’re getting further into December, and that means that 2020 will almost be over, we really hope 2021 will be a better year. A year in which we hope to drink more good Cava!
This week we taste the Agustí Torelló Mata Barrica Gran Reserva 2014. Made of 100% Macabeo grapes from the Pla dels Fidels parcel, planted in 1964. The fermentation takes place in French oak barrels for 6 months after which the Cava further matures on the lees in the bottle for another 4 years.
If you have followed us this year you know I really enjoy my Cavas and this is an interesting and well matured one. Let’s look into it and taste it.

My notes:
Delicious cava made of 100% Macabeo grapes, first matured in oak barrels before their time on the lees. Loads of apple, vanilla, pear, apricot and yeast. Further there some citrus notes with lime and lemon. A touch of honey, cream, almond and some minerals. Nice bubbles all around make this one of the best Cava’s I’ve tried this year. We matched it with a brownie and vanilla icecream, a perfect match!
