Mestres Visol 2018
HK$ 319.76
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This was the first sparkling wine to be released without liqueur d'expedition or sugar back in 1945, and the 2017 Visol Gran Reserva Brut Nature keeps that tradition with the idea to go with food. It's 60% from their own vineyards and the rest from purchased grapes. This fermented in oak barrels where the base wine was kept for six months and put to referment in bottle where it was kept with the lees for 60 months. It has a sweet nose that mixes yellow fruit and flowers with hints of brioche and baked bread, combining youth and complexity, with a velvety palate because of the small bubbles and with pungent acidity that lifts the finish up. It finishes dry, clean and long. It has 12% alcohol and a pH of 3.10. 19,803 bottles produced. It was disgorged in December 2023.

Description
Mestres Visol is a cava of great tradition and prestige, recognised for being a pioneer in the production of sparkling wines with no added sugar after disgorgement since 1945. This wine is made from a balanced blend of Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada varieties, with 60% of the grapes coming from their own vineyards, some of which are over 50 years old, and the remaining 40% from controlled vineyards.
Winemaking
The vinification of Mestres Visol begins with a six-month fermentation in oak barrels, which gives the wine a remarkable aromatic complexity and structure. Subsequently, a second fermentation takes place in the bottle, where the wine ages in contact with its lees for 60 months, developing a distinctive finesse and elegance.
Taste
Mestres Visol offers a unique sensory experience. On the palate, it is exceptionally creamy, with a perfect balance of brioche, citrus and white flower notes. These characteristics are the result of careful winemaking and long ageing in the bottle, which allows the carbon dioxide to be fully integrated, giving it a smooth, silky texture. In addition, the wine stands out for its vibrant acidity, which enhances the flavour and provides a dry, clean and lingering finish. The complexity of Mestres Visol makes it an ideal accompaniment to a wide variety of dishes, from seafood to white meats, thanks to its versatility and refined character.
With a limited production of 19,803 bottles, Mestres Visol continues to be a benchmark in the world of cavas, demonstrating that the combination of tradition and innovation is the key to creating wines of great quality and personality.
