TASTING NOTES

Nuria Claverol Cava Homnetage Gran Reserva 2016 is a distinguished sparkling wine from the renowned Penedès region of Spain, celebrated for its exceptional Cava production. Crafted with meticulous care using the traditional method—the same revered technique employed in Champagne—this Gran Reserva reflects Bodegas Sumarroca’s unwavering dedication to quality, heritage, and sustainable winemaking.

Produced by one of the largest estate-grown organic Cava producers, this vintage benefits from over 60 months of aging in stacks, including fermentation of the base wine in French oak barrels. This extended maturation imparts a complex and intense aromatic profile, where the crisp fruitiness of Chardonnay melds seamlessly with delicate roasted notes and subtle vanilla nuances derived from barrel aging.

The palate is structured and vibrant, showcasing refreshing mineral qualities alongside rich, fruity flavors. This harmonious balance delivers a refined tasting experience with a lasting finish that is both elegant and invigorating.

Key highlights:

  • Originates from the prestigious Penedès region, a hotspot for premium Cava production.
  • Crafted using the traditional method, ensuring finesse and complexity.
  • Earned an outstanding 97 points from Decanter, the highest rating ever awarded to a Cava.
  • Produced sustainably with Biosphere Sustainable certification, emphasizing environmental stewardship and biodiversity.

This Gran Reserva is the embodiment of passion for the land, combining innovative viticulture with a commitment to ecological balance. It is an exquisite choice for those seeking a sophisticated sparkling wine with depth, character, and a story rooted in sustainable excellence.
