U Mes U Cygnus Sador, Cava Brut Nature Comtats de Barcelona Guarda Superior 2021 – Cava Reserva

(organic, 18 months on lees) The cava has a pale lemon yellow color and plenty of bubbles. The nose is expressive, with distinct notes of autolysis (yeast, brioche, fresh bread), a chiseled citrus frame (lime zest, lemon zest, fresh lemon, grapefruit), as well as green apple, linden, hay and a slight toasted, even smoky hint in the background. The palate is fresh, tangy and chiseled, with an attack on citrus fruits (lemon, lime) and a good grapefruit bitterness. There are also notes of green apple, green plum, an autolytic nuance (fresh bread, yeast in the background), as well as a hint of dried fruits (toasted hazelnut, fresh hazelnut, fresh almond), completed by a touch of linden and chamomile. The mousse is fine, enveloping and pleasant. Good length with salivating acidity, grapefruit bitterness, a lingering toasty and yeasty touch, as well as fresh bread.
