Product Description
Details

Produced in Massís del Garraf, a limestone-rich area within Penedès, Clos Lentiscus Rosé Brut Nature is an uncommon Spanish sparkling wine made solely from Samsó (aka Carignan) vineyards planted in 1939.

The base wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperature using native yeasts. Secondary fermentation of this sparkling wine from Penedès took place inside the bottle, followed by a 36-month ageing period.

Finally. Clos Lentiscus Rosé Brut Nature was not added liqueur de dosage (shipping liquor) after the disgorgement.

It is worth noting that bodega Clos Lentisucus-Can Ramon Viticultors del Montgròs manages the vineyards following rigorous biodynamic principles. This minimal intervantion approach also informs the winemaking techniques.

Production below 6,000 bottles.

Nose

This rosé sparkling wine from Samsó smells of wild berries and Mediterranean scrubland, evolving into citrus, fine lees and a flinty remembrance characteristic of the Massís del Garraf area. 

Palate

This sparkler of the Clos Lentiscus-Can Ramon Viticultors del Montgròs winery is structured, fresh and creamy. Wild berries, flowers and mineral remembrances. Medium-long finish with a gently bitter note.

A tad geeky and wild, but delicious anyway.
