(1/1/2024) The new release of the Conde de Subirats Cava non-vintage Brut is from the base year of 2021 and was made again this year from a cépages of fifty-five percent Macabeu, forty percent Parellada and five percent Chardonnay. The wine was disgorged in June of 2023 and finished with a dosage of 8.5 grams per liter. It delivers a lovely nose of lemon, breadfruit, menthol, limepeel, a fine base of salty minerality and a topnote of lemongrass. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and nicely defined by its underlying minerality, with a good core, pinpoint bubbles, nice, brisk acids and good length and grip on the complex and nicely balanced finish. To my palate, the dosage still sticks out just a touch on the backend and the wine is just a tad sweet, but this will no doubt dissipate with a bit of bottle age. It is a very well-made bottle of Cava and offers excellent value. Drink between 2024-2035.
