Alta Alella Bruant 2022

Drink it now or cellar for up to 5 years. No need to decant. Located in Spain, not far from Barcelona, ​​Alta Alella is a Catalan winery founded by the Pujol-Busquets family in 1991. Today, the estate covers approximately 90 hectares of vineyards. Bruant is a Cava produced exclusively with Pansa Blanca grapes from certified organic vineyards, approximately 12 years old, located at an altitude between 150 and 300 meters above sea level. The vines are rooted in sandy granite soils and enjoy a southeast exposure. After manual harvesting and fermentation with indigenous yeasts, the secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle, following the Classic Method. The wine then ages on the lees for 15-24 months. The wine's name is inspired by a small bird, also known as the cirl bunting, which eats small insects, thus controlling pests and weeds in the vineyard. The result is a fresh and youthful Cava, revealing a brilliant pale yellow color with golden highlights and fine, persistent bubbles in the glass. Its aromatic profile is broad and fragrant, with notes of pear, green apple, and hints of honey and hazelnut. On the palate, it's crisp, lively, and refreshing, with a pleasant minerality and a long, complex finish. Try it with sushi or salmon eggs Benedict.
