Tasting notes Bertha Max Barrica Gran Reserva 2008

Cava Brut Nature Organic. 120 months in bottle.

Bertha Max Barrica Gran Reserva 2008 is a mature and slightly creamy cava. On the nose, it reveals aromas of ripe fruits like apple and pear, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and dried fruits, thanks to its barrel aging. On the palate, it offers a smooth and elegant texture, with a fine and persistent bubble that enhances its refined character. Its finish is long and balanced, leaving a pleasant aftertaste.

About Bertha Max Barrica Gran Reserva

At Decántalo, we are certain: everyone should experience a fine cava at least once in their lifetime. Unsure which one to choose? Allow us to recommend Bertha Max Barrica Gran Reserva. This Catalonian winery—recognized as one of the foremost producers within the D.O. Cava—shares our goal (or perhaps it's the other way around). Regardless, there is no better name or house to democratize this sparkling wine crafted in northeastern Spain, in the Barcelonian village of Subirats. 
 
Fermented in oak barrels, Bertha Max Barrica Gran Reserva is a true spectacle. Over five years of bottle aging make this cava a true gem, whose price does not do justice to its quality. And it's not just Bertha Max Barrica Gran Reserva; the rest of their long-aged cavas are also noteworthy. All of them are produced organically, starting in the fields where entirely respectful practices are carried out. The vineyards of Bertha Max are nestled in the Anoia-Foix valley, just a few kilometers from the Mediterranean. This area is distinguished by its gentle slopes, through which flow the rivers that give the region its name. Naturally, all these bodies of water act as thermal regulators, tempering the climate; however, one must also consider the effect of the Montsant massif, which serves as a barrier protecting against northern winds. These unique characteristics make this location exceptional, with a mild climate where the indigenous xarel·lo and macabeo grape varieties find the ideal ecosystem for their development. 
 
At Bertha Max, the production of their sparkling wines follows the traditional method, where the bubbles are achieved in the bottle through a secondary fermentation. In the case of Bertha Max Barrica Gran Reserva, the chardonnay first ferments in barrels, and the pinot noir is vinified as a white wine, extracting the must with very gentle pressure to avoid extracting color from the grapes. Both varieties, along with the xarel·lo and macabeo, ferment to create the base wine, which is then bottled and undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, achieving that enticing sparkle. Subsequently, the bubbles will soften and round out over the more than 30 months that Bertha Max Barrica Gran Reserva ages in the bottle. 
 
A true revolution. Remember well: Bertha Max Barrica Gran Reserva. A project with which it is possible for good cava to move everyone.
