For lovers of any sparkling wine you do not want to miss this deal. The Llopart family has been producing sparkling wine in the Penedès region of Spain since 1887, making them the oldest continuously operating winery in the region. The current generation farms their vineyards using certified organic practices and the winemaking is very modern. After pressing the fermentation of the base wine is done with native yeasts, then aged sur lie until bottling. Once in bottle the secondary fermentation and aging lasts an astonishing 60 months before disgorgement. The wine is then finished with a scant 6 grams R/S.
The nose of this sparkling is an enticing blend of toasted hazelnuts, bread crumbs, baked Granny Smith apples, quince and sea spray. The palate is rich and intense with tremendous length and texture, more like a top shelf grower Champagne. Drink 2025-2030.
