The traditional grape varieties used to produce classic Cavas – Xarel•lo, Macabeo and Parellada – have gone into making Roger Goulart Brut Nature Reserva 2020, a smooth and fruity blend that’s an excellent example of what Barcelona-based firm Roger Goulart is capable of.

Roger Goulart Brut Nature Reserva 2020 is one of the famous sparkling wines made by Barcelona-based Roger Goulart, a firm notable for its use of top-quality grapes and long periods of stack-ageing, its two main distinguishing features.
Ever since it started out back in 1882, the winery, based in Sant Esteve Sesrovires, has cultivated a personal, distinctive style, following the traditional méthode champenoise. Roger Goulart Brut Nature Reserva 2019 is designed from a blend of the three grape varieties that reign supreme in Catalan sparkling wines. Xarel•lo provided it with freshness and ensured good ageing potential thanks to its balance; Macabeo lent it liveliness; and Parellada infused it with floral aromas, lightness and a medium acidity. At least 24 months on the lees in stacks have turned it into a fantastic Cava that’s highly recommended as an aperitif wine and as an accompaniment to all kinds of fish and seafood dishes.
Pale, brilliant yellow with abundant fine bubbles.
Nose dominated by aromas of fresh fruit in perfect harmony with creamy background bakery and nutty notes.
Very fresh, structured and well-balanced on the palate, despite the absence of any added sugars.
The cultivation of vines at the Masía de Can Goulart dates back to the 18th century, specifically to 1882, when the Canals family acquired the cellars, making it one of the first sparkling wine producers in Spain. The Canals family still owns the cellars today. Its impressive 1920 building, designed by architect Ignasi Mas Morell, is a prime example of Catalan agrarian modernism and one of its main attractions. Roger Goulart does not own vineyards nor produce the base wine, although he closely follows the entire process. To craft this Brut Nature, he uses the classic trio of regional varieties (Parellada, Xarel.lo, Macabeo), which each contribute distinct qualities: structure, silkiness on the palate, and aromatic finesse.
