Experts

The current vintage of the special cuvée is the 2008 Kripta, a classical blend of the local grapes Macabeo, Xarello and Parellada aged in contact with the lees in bottle for a long time, no less than five years, during which time the bottle is closed with a cork (it's usually a crown stopper). Apparently this gives the wine a different character and is the way it was traditionally done. This is a polished Cava with yeast and brioche aromas and a soft palate with clean, developed flavors and integrated acidity. A benchmark for the Cavas with five years in contact with lees. 24,300 bottles produced.

Jag köpte det på nätet.
Uppladdad gul. Luktar bra, med färsk citron. Smaken är fet.

Nas lojas de vinhos esgota-se rapidamente.
Tem uma cor amarela com muito brilho. Este Agustí Torelló Mata tem aromas de pêra e banana. No final fica um sabor salgado.

Very pleasant citrus scent. Passes easily across the palate, smooth and very nice.
One of the best I've ever tasted.

4/5

Fantastic colour. Very yeasty and biscuity on the nose.I kept feeling the taste for a long time.
We paired the Agustí Torelló Mata Kripta Gran Reserva with a starter.
I had it at some good friends house.
