The 2006 Uvae Brut Nature is a blend of Xarello and Chardonnay, likewise without any expedition liqueur. It has a glorious bouquet of wild honey, honeysuckle and beeswax that is very well-defined and demonstrates great focus. The palate has a crisp, tense, almost Zen-like entry with noticeable acidity that maintains great vivacity and sharpness. The finish is minimal, allowing the minerality to come through. Superb. Drink now-2018.
Rimarts is owned and run by Ricard and Ernest Martinez. It is a small, family run operation where Cavas spend a minimum of 24 months on their lees. I was very impressed with the quality of the three Cavas I tasted.
