PAGO DE THARSYS | MILLÉSIME BARRICA BRUT NATURE RESERVA 2022
The Vineyard
Predominantly calcareous soil with deep clay layers and porous limestone rock (“tufa”) at around 2 meters depth, which limits nutrients while retaining moisture. This type of soil promotes small, highly aromatic grapes with high acidity—ideal for producing elegant, high-quality wines.
Vintage 2022
The winter was cold and dry, while the spring was rainy and cool, creating good water reserves but delaying bud break. The summer, very hot and dry, reduced yields, although it allowed for grapes of उत्कृष्ट quality and great aromatic intensity.
Winemaking
Produced following the traditional method, with manual harvesting and careful selection. The must ferments in French oak barrels and undergoes ageing on lees before the second fermentation. It is then aged for at least 24 months in underground cellars and crafted as a Brut Nature to preserve the aromatic complexity of the Chardonnay.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: Old gold color with a bright golden rim and very fine, persistent bubbles.
Aroma: Intense aromas of ripe stone fruit and citrus, with delicate notes of vanilla, cream, biscuit, and toasted butter.
Palate: Dry, round, and smooth, with fine, enveloping bubbles. Great structure and volume, with a long finish recalling toasted nuts and bread.
Serving & Pairing
Serving: Serve between 7–9 ºC in a medium-sized glass.
Pairing: Ideal with smoked or barbecued fish and meats, as well as aged cheeses. It will continue to evolve positively in bottle over the next 5 years.
