95 / 100"This Blanc de Noirs Cava exudes elegance with a refined nose of dark fruits and dried berries, drawing you in with its depth. The palate is vibrant, showcasing fresh acidity and a delicate, fine bead that dances on the tongue. A true standout with impressive finesse. Bold and structured, it carries a powerful presence, making it perfect for pairing with food, yet remains beautifully balanced and immensely appealing."

Tasting Notes
=
Nuria is a range of very long ageing Gran Reserva of single vineyard. From the best and oldest plots of our estate, carefully hand harvested. Each of them show a unique character that represents the virtues of each variety and terroir. Ms. Núria Claverol is the wife of the founder Mr. Carles Sumarroca, and these cavas are the perfect homage from the family to her.
The wineries longest serving cava with red grapes of pinot noir developed to make a white wine. A 60-month long aging process to complete its elaboration.
Very fresh nose with mineral notes and hints of red fruits, all from pinot noir. At the bottom it leaves light subtle notes of pastry which can be found in long aged cava. On the palate the minerality is more pronounced, together with a refreshing structure and also notes of Asian fruits. Acidity is present in the form of freshness and it is balanced with a small presence of sugars from disgorging.
Pinot noir harvested at night to avoid the extraction of the colouring matter by contact with the skins and the must. 10ºC immediate cooling and utilization of only 40% of the must flower. Static settling 24 hours. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 14 ° C for 18 days. Aged in stacks for a minimum of 60 months.
