Albet i Noya 2022 'Petit Albet' Brut Reserva, Spain 

While Albet i Noya was established in 1978, its roots in organic craftsmanship date back to the turn of the twentieth century, when the family's expertise was already well established. Even though the phylloxera epidemic was at its height when their great-great-grandfather Joan Albet i Rovirosa arrived to work in the vineyards in Sant Pau d'Ordal, he stayed there. They are one of the few wineries left that labels their bottles with "Classic Penedès" rather than "Cava," a distinction that indicates the wine was made entirely from grapes cultivated, harvested, and vinified on the estate and matured for at least 15 months before distribution.

  • Winemaker: Margarita Torres
  • Variety: Xarello, Paralleda, Macabeo
  • Farming Practice: Certified organic
  • Terroir: Calcareous clay
  • Vinification Practice: hand harvest, direct whole cluster press, 26 day spontaneous primary fermentation in steel, secondary fermentation in bottle with 15 months on lees.
  • Aging: 15 months on lees
  • Tasting Note: Aromas of fresh herbs and flowers combined with a background of ripe white fruit at just the right stage of ripeness. On the palate, it is refreshing yet exhibits the complexity of a sparkling wine aged for 15 months. Very integrated.
