Conde de Subirats, Cava Brut

Bright straw with a frothy mousse. Zesty lemon and kiwi scents and an exotic note of mustard seed on the fresh nose. A suave, silky bubbly that possesses deep orchard and tropical fruit flavors and a slow-building red fruit quality. This is strikingly supple, with very good finishing lift and clarity.

Conde de Subirats, Cava Brut NV	90 View from the Cellar The new release of the Conde de Subirats Cava non-vintage Brut is from the base year of 2021 and was made again this year from a cépages of fifty-five percent Macabeu, forty percent Parellada and five percent Chardonnay. The wine was disgorged in June of 2023 and finished with a dosage of 8.5 grams per liter. It delivers a lovely nose of lemon, breadfruit, menthol, limepeel, a fine base of salty minerality and a topnote of lemongrass. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and nicely defined by its underlying minerality, with a good core, pinpoint bubbles, nice, brisk acids and good length and grip on the complex and nicely balanced finish. To my palate, the dosage still sticks out just a touch on the backend and the wine is just a tad sweet, but this will no doubt dissipate with a bit of bottle age. It is a very well-made bottle of Cava and offers excellent value. 2024-2035. John Gilman; Issue 109, January – February 2024	Bottle Image Label Image Shelf Talker Tech Sheet
