ABOUT THIS WINE
The Agustí Torelló Mata Gran Reserva Barrica is a Cava from Catalonia, Spain, made exclusively from the Macabeo grape. Founded by pioneer Agustí Torelló Mata in 1959, the winery emphasizes family commitment and a professional team to produce wines with distinct personalities. The grapes are sourced from the Penedès region, specifically from the Pla dels Fidels plot. The 2018 vintage experienced favorable ripening conditions. A unique aspect of this Cava is its fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, followed by an extended minimum of four years of refinement in the bottle.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Agustí Torelló Mata Gran Reserva Barrica begins with hand-harvested Macabeo grapes from organically grown vineyards. A portion of the base wine is fermented in French oak barrels for six months, while another part is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine then undergoes an extended aging process, with a minimum of 48 months of refinement in the bottle in contact with its yeasts. The disgorgement date, indicating the end of cellar aging, is marked on the bottle.
