Can Feixes Brut Nature 2014 is a sparkling wine from the Penedès region of Catalonia, Spain. The wine is made using a blend of traditional Cava grape varieties, including Macabeo, Parellada, and Xarel-lo, grown in the Can Feixes estate’s vineyards.
The 2014 vintage was marked by a cool and wet spring, followed by a dry and sunny summer, which resulted in a long and balanced growing season. The grapes were handpicked at optimal ripeness and fermented in stainless steel tanks before undergoing secondary fermentation in the bottle, using the traditional méthode champenoise.
The wine is aged on its lees for a minimum of 30 months, resulting in a fine and persistent mousse and a complex flavor profile.
The Can Feixes Brut Nature 2014 has a pale yellow color with greenish hues and a fine, persistent mousse that highlights the wine’s excellent quality. On the nose, the wine displays fresh citrus notes of lemon and lime, along with hints of green apple and pear.
As the wine opens up, it reveals more complex aromas of toasted bread and nuts, characteristic of the traditional méthode champenoise. On the palate, the wine is dry and crisp, with a refreshing acidity and a subtle mineral finish.
The wine’s delicate bubbles provide a velvety texture and contribute to a creamy mouthfeel. The citrus and mineral notes are complemented by a subtle hint of floral and herbal flavors, which adds complexity to the wine’s profile.
Being a Brut Nature, this wine has no added dosage, meaning that it is a very dry and austere style of sparkling wine.
Food pairing suggestion: With its crisp acidity and complex flavor profile, the Can Feixes Brut Nature 2014 is an excellent choice as an aperitif or to pair with seafood, sushi, or light appetizers.
