About Mestres Mas Vía Gran Reserva Brut

Henry W. Longfellow once said, "Everything comes to him who waits." We cannot determine whether that will be a long or short wait. However, we can assure you that the patient will always be rewarded if they can wait for a bottle of Mestres Mas Vía Gran Reserva Brut.

Produced exclusively in the best vintages, Mestres Mas Vía Gran Reserva Brut is an exceptional cava, one of those special ones that are only opened on the finest occasions. It would be a shame to uncork this marvel lightly after 16 years of aging, wouldn't it? Mestres Mas Vía Gran Reserva Brut is cultivated in the province of Barcelona, in the village of Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, in an old vineyard planted between 1954 and 1968. The soils in this area, a mix of sand, clay, and lime, provide the necessary nutrients for the development of the vines, despite the hot and dry summers typical of the Mediterranean climate. In this village, producing sparkling wine is more than just a job; it’s a way of life, accounting for two-thirds of the national production.

A stroll to the town's main square leads you to the cellars of this centuries-old family business that has been operating in the area since 1312. This is where the magic happens, with the double fermentations so characteristic of this house. In this method, known as the traditional or champenoise method, the base wine (fermented once) undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle. For Mestres Mas Vía Gran Reserva Brut, the must ferments in chestnut barrels and rests in contact with the lees for a year. After this period, the base wine is bottled and left to rest in a horizontal position for about 192 months (approximately 16 years). During this time, Mestres Mas Vía Gran Reserva Brut will undergo a second fermentation and remain in contact with the lees (dead yeast cells) that settle at the bottom. Gradually, these tiny cadavers will decompose, providing proteins to the wine that will result in greater volume and structure. The final step in the production of Mestres Mas Vía Gran Reserva Brut is the disgorging. This process, where the lees are removed from the bottom, is done manually and artisanally, as in the old days, bottle by bottle.

A lot can happen in 16 years. Good, bad, and indifferent. No matter what, one should always stay positive, find the silver lining, and celebrate everything possible with Mestres Mas Vía Gran Reserva Brut.

2008

Mestres Mas Vía Gran Reserva Brut 2008 is a cava that is subtly creamy and exceptionally mature. On the nose, it reveals aromas of ripe apple and peach, complemented by delicate hints of almond. On the palate, it features fine bubbles and a smooth texture, offering flavours of mature fruits and a hint of honey. Its finish is long and elegant, leaving a pleasant aftertaste.
2006

Mestres Mas Vía Gran Reserva Brut 2006 is a mature, dry sparkling wine (containing less than 3 g/l of sugar). It boasts a straw yellow hue with golden highlights, and is clear and luminous. Yet, its appearance is not its sole allure. It will also captivate you with its complex and diverse bouquet, featuring dried flowers (elderflower, orange blossom), aromatic herbs (chamomile), and white fruit (apple). On the palate, it is creamy and velvety, full-bodied and well-structured. A distinctive mineral quality, slightly saline, prompts salivation. Well-balanced and flavorful.
2005

With less than 6 g/l of residual sugar, the sparkling Mestres Mas Vía Gran Reserva Brut 2005 is an unmissable wine. It boasts a bright yellow hue, adorned with an elegant and delicate stream of bubbles that are almost imperceptible. The bouquet is intense and complex, offering a vast array of scents ranging from sharp, defined mineral notes to the fragrances of a bakery. On the palate, it is creamy and well-structured, exquisitely fine and flavorful. Harmonious and impeccably balanced.
