2021 Alsina & Sardà Cava Gran Reserva Brut Nature, Pénedes, Spain
ABOUT THIS WINE
Cava (Penedès, Catalunya) that sits at the drier end of the spectrum and emphasizes purity over sweetness. The estate bottles two “Gran Reserva Brut Nature” labels: the long-running Sello cuvée (traditional Cava grapes) and a Gran Reserva Especial Brut Nature (often released with a vintage, and widely listed for 2021). Both qualify as Gran Reserva—meaning at least 30 months’ aging on the lees—and Brut Nature indicates 0–3 g/L residual sugar.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The producer is a family estate rooted in El Pla del Penedès whose vine-growing history dates to the 19th century; the family began bottling its own cavas in the early 1980s and works a patchwork of limestone- and clay-soiled parcels around Sant Sadurní d’Anoia. Today three generations are involved, and the style favors clarity, long lees aging, and traditional-method craftsmanship.
