Naveran Dama Brut Vintage Catalonia 2021 750ml
DescriptionNaveran's Dama Brut represents five generations of sparkling wine expertise from the Penedès, showcasing traditional method production that rivals more famous names from the region. This 2021 vintage captures the estate's commitment to elegance and finesse, creating a Cava that transcends the category to compete with premium sparkling wines from around the world.
The wine presents a pale golden color with fine, persistent bubbles that rise in delicate streams. On the nose, Dama offers impressive complexity—green apple, white peach, and citrus notes mingle with the brioche and almond characteristics that come from extended lees aging. Floral notes of acacia and white flowers add elegance, while subtle mineral undertones provide depth. The vintage character shows through in the wine's exceptional freshness and precision.
The palate delivers a beautiful balance between richness and vivacity. The mousse is creamy and well-integrated, creating a luxurious texture that carries flavors of citrus, green apple, and stone fruits across the tongue. Extended aging on lees has added complexity—notes of toasted bread, hazelnuts, and a subtle creaminess—without sacrificing the wine's essential freshness. The dosage is perfectly judged, adding just enough sweetness to round out the edges while maintaining a dry, crisp finish.
What distinguishes Naveran's Dama is the evident care in every aspect of production. From organic farming practices to extended aging well beyond Cava requirements, every decision is made to maximize quality. The 2021 vintage benefited from ideal conditions, resulting in base wines of exceptional quality that shine through in the finished sparkling wine. The finish is long and refined, with citrus and mineral notes lingering alongside the fine bubbles. This is sophisticated sparkling wine that pairs beautifully with seafood, light appetizers, or celebration itself. A reminder that Spain produces world-class sparkling wines that offer remarkable value.
