Agustí Torelló Kripta GR Brut Nature 2008
Descripción
Kripta nace en 1979 encarnando el sueño de Agustí Torelló Mata por elaborar un cava diferente que pudiese reflejar todo su conocimiento, constancia y trabajo de décadas. La botella, que recuerda a un ánfora romana, encierra toda la complejidad que consigue el 'blend' clásico de la bodega tras reposar 60 meses en la cripta de la bodega. Un cava excepcional, en todos los sentidos. Producción limitada con botellas numeradas. Presentado en un estuche en el que figura la fecha de degüelle.

Opinión de los críticos
The current vintage of the special cuvée is the 2008 Kripta, a classical blend of the local grapes Macabeo, Xarello and Parellada aged in contact with the lees in bottle for a long time, no less than five years, during which time the bottle is closed with a cork (it's usually a crown stopper). Apparently this gives the wine a different character and is the way it was traditionally done. This is a polished Cava with yeast and brioche aromas and a soft palate with clean, developed flavors and integrated acidity. A benchmark for the Cavas with five years in contact with lees. 24,300 bottles produced.
Now nearing a decade since the fruit was picked, this wine shows its age in its golden hue and powerful toasty aroma. The palate shows good concentration, decent weight, and a touch of elegance (from the 45% Macabeo) with an attractive grip on the finish.
