About Agusti Torello Mata 2014 'Kripta' Gran Reserva Cava Brut Nature
Our 2023 GIFT OF THE YEAR!
Kripta, was created in 1979 by Agustí Torelló Mata. This unique Cava has been described by Michel Bettane, an influential wine critic in France, as a sparkling wine comparable to the very best champagnes: “Wonderful and delicate walnut aromas, refined texture and bubbles, very seducing finish. The perfection of Cava or almost, and a wine that shall surprise many people.” He included Kripta in his book of “The Best 100 Wines of the World” along with 4 other sparkling wines (all Champagne).
The label and logo was designed by Rafael Bartolozzi. The bottle is amphora-shaped, and produced by hand. Each bottle comes in a special box - perfect for gift-giving.
Kripta is a coupage of three traditional Cava white grape varieties, all organically grown and hand-harvested from three unique plots in the Penedès. The Macabeo (45%) is from the Vicari vineyard in Sant Pau d'Ordal (planted in 1962); the Xarel-lo (20%) is from the Mercader vineyard in Sant Sadurni d'Anoia (planted in 1974); and, the Parellada (35%) is from the Lola vineyard in Sant Joan de Mediona (planted in 1969.
Following the traditional method of making sparkling wine (like champagne) the second fermentation takes place in the amphora-shaped bottle, with a natural cork, over a period of at least eight years, approximately the same amount of time as some of champagne’s great marques. Bottles are individually numbered - with the date of disgorgement shown on a card inside the box. Approximately 26,000 bottles produced in this vintage.
Certified organic. 11.5% alc./vol.; 0.6 g/l residual sugar (bottled brut nature).
Medium yellow with golden highlights. Classic aromas of Brioche, buttery biscuit ripe fruits and a hint of vanilla. The palate is round and full with persistent bubbles. Simply an excellent benchmark Cava.
