Mestres Mas Via 2000

Mestres is one of the oldest producers of Cava focussing on traditional native grape varieties and the winemaking techniques favoured by their ancestors. Mas Via is a limited release cuvée only produced in exceptional vintages and the 2000 edition is made from a blend of 65% Xarel-lo, 20% Macabeo and 15% Parellada from selected old vineyards. The base wine is fermented in barrels and matured for 12 months on lees before secondary fermentation in bottle and a further 140 months (11+ years) maturation. This is an extraordinarily complex and expressive sparkling wine with incredible notes of baked bread, spice-roasted apples, citrus peel, fenugreek seed and smoked nuts. Voluminous yet sleek, it rides the perfect line between richness, subtly oxidative notes and tensile freshness – a triumph!
