The 2008 Brut Reserva offers up aromas of biscuit, mineral, and apple leading to a nicely proportioned, quite dry (4.5g dosage), lengthy wine that is meant for drinking over the next 12-18 months. Agusti Torello Mata has a reputation as one of Spain’s foremost Cava producers and my visit in January 2011 did nothing to disprove it. The stated goal is “to make Cava with soul” working with only the traditional grapes. All of the fruit utilized is at least 30 years of age. Approximately 20% of the production is exported to a total of 31 countries.Importer: Casa Ventura Imports, Bellingham, WA; tel. (360) 303 1760
