2021 Llopart Brut Reserva Rosé Penedes

Winemaker Notes: The Llopart family were granted their family estate in 1385, making them one of the oldest growers in Penedès. They founded their company for the production of sparkling wines in 1887, making them the second oldest house for sparkling wine in Spain, and the oldest family-owned sparkling wine house in the country. They own 500 Ha of land, 95 of which are planted to organically certified vineyards. In 2017, Llopart became one of the six founding members of CORPINNAT, an new recognized classification for premium organically farmed sparkling wines from heart of Penedès. Llopart were pioneers in the production of Rosé sparkling wines and were one of the first producers to make rosé sparkling from exclusively red varieties.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "A sparkling wine based on Monastrell is an oddity, but the 2021 Rose from Llopart showcases it beautifully. This blend of 60% Monastrell, 20% Garnacha and 20% Pinot Noir, from Subirats, Penedes, is bright cherry-red in hue. The floral, perfumed nose features cherry and herbal notes. Indulgent and chalky, it delivers a savory palate that finishes with a lasting note of waffle." (4.24)


Jeb Dunnuck - "The 2021 Brut Reserva Rosé is also solid. Based on 60% Monastrell, 20% Garnatxa, and 20% Pinot Noir, it has a light salmon hue as well as a terrific perfume of savory raspberry and tart strawberries. It's nicely balanced and has a classy, supple mouthfeel and bright acidity that carries through the palate and finish." (7.24)
