“The sparkling 2016 Mosset Brut Nature comes from a part of the estate in Torrelavid with lots of fossils that deliver lots of aniseed and fennel to the wines. Unlike most of their other sparkling wines this has a blend of grapes varieties: Xarel.lo, Macabeu and Parellada Montonega, the traditional grapes for sparkling wines in the zone. This has a very low pH (2.9) and notable acidity that makes it vibrant. This has lots of freshness that does not reflect the dry and warm year. The zone has very small plots with very poor soils, and the plants are used to suffering; so, there's not that much difference in the drier years, and the place has cooler nights. It was disgorged after 59 months in bottle with lees. It feels very young and fresh, quite a triumph over the conditions of the year. 24,050 bottles produced. It was disgorged in March 2022, but as with all Corpinnat wines, it has the disgorgement date and the months in bottle with lees stated on the label.”
