If you love a toasty, grown-up sparkling wine, this is one to try. Exeo is the top of Art Alella’s Mirgin range, and every time I pour it people ask whether it’s Champagne. It isn’t: it comes from the hills just above Barcelona, overlooking the Mediterranean.
The grapes come from a small, single plot on the Art Alella estate in Vallcirera, where the sandy granite soils give wines with lovely natural acidity. It’s a blend of Xarel·lo (known locally as Pansa Blanca) and Chardonnay, picked by hand and gently pressed. After the second fermentation in bottle it spends years on its lees, well beyond the minimum for a Gran Reserva, and as a Brut Nature it has no added sugar. The estate is farmed organically, and the wine is vegan.
In the glass it’s a pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is full of citrus and white fruit, with grilled bread, brioche and a little toasted almond. The palate is creamy but taut, with real tension, a chalky mineral edge and a long, elegant finish.
Lovely with oysters, sushi or a seafood rice, and wonderful with a soft, creamy cheese.
