Celler Kripta Bayanus Reserva 2023 | Corpinnat 375 ml

The Celler Kripta Bayanus Reserva is a refined quality sparkling wine from the heart of Penedès in Catalonia, Spain. This winery is known for its attention to detail and the use of traditional methods to produce high-level sparkling wines. The Bayanus Reserva displays a bright, straw-yellow color with brilliant, persistent bubbles that fill the glass. The long aging on the lees gives the wine a creamy texture and subtle complexity, while the freshness is excellently preserved.

On the nose, the Celler Kripta Bayanus Reserva is complex and inviting, with refined aromas of brioche, almond, green apple, peach, and a light hint of honey. The yeasty notes and nutty nuances contribute to the wine's versatility and refinement. The subtle minerality present provides extra structure and balance, leaving the wine with an elegant and harmonious impression. On the palate, the Bayanus Reserva is rich and fresh, with a beautiful balance between creaminess and lively acidity. The texture is silky smooth, and the fine bubbles enhance the mouthfeel and complexity. Flavors of ripe fruit, light nuts, and a hint of brioche carry through into the long, elegant finish, which remains fresh and mineral without becoming heavy. The result is a wine that combines rigorously certified quality, organic viticulture, and optimal aging into a versatile and stylish whole.

This wine proudly bears the Corpinnat quality label. This is a collective brand established in 2019 by a select group of leading producers in the heart of the Penedès terroir, who have distanced themselves from the standard D.O. Cava appellation. Corpinnat applies significantly stricter rules to guarantee the highest quality. For instance, the grapes must be 100% organic and harvested by hand, only indigenous grape varieties are permitted, and the entire vinification takes place on the estate. Moreover, a minimum maturation on the lees of 18 months applies, guaranteeing extraordinary depth, craftsmanship, and terroir expression.
