Nadal - Corpinnat Reserva, Brut, Spain (NV)

TASTING NOTES

Light gold in appearance, the nose holds fresh aromas of white fruit and nuts, while on the palate it demonstrates excellent structure and softness, subtlety and balance.

The Nadal family has been dedicated, since 1510, to the cultivation of grapes and the production of wines on the Nadal de la Boadella Estate. During the years of the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), the Nadal vineyard had been expropriated so as to construct a Republican aerodame, but when it was regained by the family after the war, Ramon Nadal Giró decided to abandon the production of wine spirit, to open the way for the creation of sparkling wines with native varieties grown on the estate. It was in 1943 that the first bottle of Nadal Brut came into being.

This non-vintage sparkling wine from the Penedes region in Spain, is produced from organic grapes that were manually harvested. A classic blend of Macabeo, Parellada and Xarel-lo, it is made in the traditional method (champenoise) and is aged on lees for 36 months.
