Colet Navazos Reserva Brut Nature 2021

"Colet Navazos Reserva is a sparkling wine crafted by Colet in collaboration with Equipo Navazos using the chardonnay variety grown in their vineyards in Penedès, Spain, with an expedition liqueur inspired by the character of Sanlúcar’s manzanilla pasada.Born from a joint exploration into the connections between great sparkling wines and the uniqueness of biologically aged wines, this Brut Nature is produced using the traditional method, with a second fermentation in the bottle and an extended ageing on lees of forty months, shaping its finely textured bubbles and delivering depth, absolute dryness and vibrant precision. The expedition liqueur, made with manzanilla pasada, brings a saline, floral and subtly yeasty nuance that harmonises with the natural elegance of chardonnay, creating a profile that is sober, complex and imbued with a southern accent.On the nose and palate it reveals clarity and expressiveness: notes of ripe citrus, white fruit, fine lees creaminess, touches of nuts and a final echo reminiscent of the flor character typical of wines from Sanlúcar. The palate is dry, taut and enveloping, with a long finish that combines austerity, verticality and a deeply mineral elegance.Ideal alongside seafood, oysters, sushi, raw or lightly seared fish, poultry with citrus-based sauces or dishes that benefit from a balance of structure, salinity and freshness, this sparkling wine represents a virtuous meeting between Penedès and Andalusia—an intentional and characterful fusion that makes it a unique reference within the Spanish sparkling landscape."
