AT Roca Esparter Reserva Classic Spanish Sparkling Wine 2015

Discover the Authentic Elegance of Esparter
Crafted by Cellers AT Roca in Penedès, Catalonia, Spain, Esparter is a timeless expression of premium Macabeu varietal wine that captures the essence of terroir and tradition. Planted in 1968 on calcareous soils in Costers de l’Ordal, these meticulously maintained old vines thrive in a unique microclimate shaped by northwest-facing slopes that balance morning light with afternoon shade—a natural defense against intense heat. Nestled close to the sea, the vineyard benefits from coastal humidity that moderates hydric stress during maturation, resulting in grapes that embody vibrant minerality and crisp acidity.

A Taste of Distinction
Esparter’s 2015 vintage offers a refined profile marked by notes of green apple, citrus zest, and subtle almond undertones, complemented by a refreshing saline finish. At 12% alcohol by volume, this wine strikes an ideal balance for casual sipping or pairing with seafood, light pasta dishes, or Mediterranean appetizers. Its elegant structure and aging potential make it a standout choice for connoisseurs seeking an authentic Catalan white wine with depth and character.

Why Esparter Stands Out
– Old Vine Heritage: The 5-hectare vineyard’s decades-old vines deliver concentrated flavors honed by traditional training methods.
– Terroir-Driven Complexity: Calcareous soils enhance minerality while maritime influences add brightness and balance.
– Sustainable Craftsmanship: Cellers AT Roca’s commitment to preserving Penedès’ viticultural legacy ensures every bottle reflects tradition meets precision.

Whether you’re exploring Spanish whites for the first time or seeking a sophisticated addition to your cellar, Esparter invites you to experience the harmonious marriage of history, climate, and craftsmanship that defines this iconic Catalan wine.
