Freixenet -  Sant Sadurni d'Anoia, Spain

Brut Nature

Tasting Notes

Freixenet’s premier cuvée, Brut Nature is a reserve Cava produced only in years of exceptional harvests. The extremely dry style of this méthode champenoise wine is comparable to the driest Brut Champagnes. Characterized by a complex nose with distinct notes of hazelnuts and fruit, particularly apple, Freixenet Brut Nature features a mature, fruit-dominant palate, crowned by an elegant finish.

90 POINTS
“From the rich, lightly hazelnut-inflected scent of ripe apples, one would never guess this was a brut nature. Then take a sip and it’s fully dry, with a vivid acidity to offset the apple fruit and underlying earthiness. Serve it with a main course of wild salmon stewed with morels.”

Food Affinities

With its dry and supple flavors, Freixenet Brut Nature is perfect as an aperitif or served with aged cheddar or Spanish Manchego cheese. Its intense flavors are a versatile match with grilled fish, especially wild salmon and halibut, as well as creamy mushroom or pumpkin bisque. Not to be missed with strawberries and a splash of thick cream!
