Appearance

The wine Mastinell Carpe Diem Reserva Especial Brut Nature is medium straw with some greenish tinges.

Nose

This blend of  Macabeo, Chardonnay, Xarel·lo and Parellada exhibits some aromas of white flowers, aniseed and citrus, along with some remembrances of pastry, menthol and dry fruit. The background is reminiscent of aromatic herbs and honey.

Palate

Sexy, creamy and fresh, this Cava from Heretat Mas Tinell has a supple body and well-integrated, tiny bubbles. Flowers, butter, citrus, menthol and balsam combine in a most accordant manner. Refreshing, crisp acidity and long, seductive finish.

Our personal opinion

Classy and very versatile when it comes to food pairing, Mastinell Carpe Diem Reserva Especial Brut Nature 2016 is a great value.

I found this wine truly inspiring. A very solid core, mineral and tart, and plenty of spicy and fruity nuances. The nose is very sophisticated, and the ending is voluptuous.
