Recaredo Subtil Gran Reserva Brut Nature 2019
HK$ 434.22
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2019 Subtil Finca is pure Xarel.lo from the Serral del Roure vineyard with a little more clay, where the wines have more volume (also used for the Reserva Particular). It refermented with must from the following year from their own vineyards and matured in bottle in contact with yeasts for 37 months. So, they keep the base wine for one year aging in stainless steel and part in oak for one year while waiting for the must from the same vineyard from the following vintage. It's subtle (true to its name), serious, harmonious, a little closed, spicy with a hint of curry. It has a moderate 11.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.3 and 4.7 grams of acidity. With time in the glass, it develops subtle aromas of aromatic herbs, flowers, spices and plants that make me think of a Chartreuse liqueur (from Tarragona!). It has a velvety, textured mouthfeel. It has a seamless palate with very tasty flavors, pungent acidity and very small bubbles. I love it. 16,000 bottles produced.

Description
Subtil Gran Reserva Brut Nature by Recaredo is a cava that denotes subtlety and elegance, without leaving aside the marked personality and complexity that characterises this winery.
It is made from 100% Xarel-lo grapes, and its flavour reveals the minerality of the soil where the fruit was grown. You will be able to taste a freshness and creamy texture that cannot be compared to any other of its kind.
Elaboration
The xarel-lo grapes used to make this wine come from the Finca del Roure, specifically located in the heart of the Penedès region. Like all these wines, the vineyards are cultivated following the philosophy of organic and biodynamic viticulture.
The grapes are also harvested by hand to guarantee the quality and perfect ripening of the fruit. The must is then subjected to a fermentation process in stainless steel barrels for at least one year, followed by a period of ageing in bottles.
For the latter, a natural cork stopper is used. The disgorging process is also carried out at room temperature, respecting the artisanal techniques described above.
Taste
Recaredo's Subtil Gran Reserva Brut Nature is a dry bubbly wine to which no sugar is added, as the fermentation is carried out with its own yeasts.
In the aroma you can notice the elegance, balancing spicy tonalities with a touch of white fruits. When tasting, you will notice the ageing notes and mineral nuances on the palate.
A wine with delicious minerality
The texture and flavour of this wine sets it apart from others from this winery. The lightness of its bubbles together with the mineral tones detected on the palate, converge to make you taste an unparalleled experience. It is ideal to accompany dishes that include game, risottos and any kind of appetizers.
