Celler Kripta Gran Reserva 2016 is the most emblematic sparkling wine from Agustí Torelló Mata, a pioneer in the cava world since 1978. This wine revolutionized the concept of cava with its long aging and native grape varieties. Its presentation in a unique amphora-shaped bottle allows for natural batonnage, enriching its aging process. Under the Corpinnat designation, it remains a global reference among sparkling wines. The 2016 vintage is exceptional, combining concentration, freshness, and depth after eight years of aging on lees. The wine's purity is apparent due to the absence of dosage, highlighting the character of its three historic vineyards. On the nose, it reveals aromas of apple, ripe pear, stone fruits, pastry, toasted almonds, butter, light honey, and delicate smoky notes, along with notable minerality. On the palate, it is creamy and complex, with a fine bubble and well-integrated acidity, culminating in a long finish with nuts, toasty notes, and salinity. This sparkling wine is recommended to pair with oysters, caviar, seafood, noble fish, rice dishes, poultry, and aged cheeses, and is suitable for long aging.
