Talking About the Wines:

​

-Dr. Owen Bargreen, Sept 22' gave 91 points to Mestres 1312, Reserva Brut, 2019.   “A gorgeous blend of 30% Macabeu, 30% Xarel.lo and 40% Parellada, the ‘1312 Reserva’ offers salted Macadamia nut, white peach and green apple tones that all take shape in the glass. The silky and refined mousse really impresses, as this shows a great combination of weight, tension and length.”

​

-The Wine Panel, June 22' gave 91 points to Mestres 1312, Reserva Brut, 2019. “A classic expression of a well-made Cava, with a zesty freshness and super clean character. Produced from the Mestres family, the first producer to register the word CAVA in 1959, their family has been in the wine business dating back to 1312. They began building the winery back in the 1600's and finally finished it 200 years later in 1861. To this day all their wines are still aged at least 20 months while being riddled by hand. This blend of 35% Macabeu, 30% Xarel-lo, and 35% Parellada delivers the balance and brightness you'd want out of a classy Cava, with just a hint of mineral and yeast notes for a touch of complexity. A well-made wine that over-delivers for the price.”
