Frequently asked about Cupada Brut Nature Reserva
What does Mata i Coloma Cupada taste like?
Dried fruit, toasted almond, fine lees and a hint of white truffle on the nose; nutty autolytic notes, saline minerality, a long bead and elegant finish on the palate. Medium-bodied with high acidity and a long elegant finish.
When should I drink Cupada?
Drink between 2 and 10 years from disgorgement. The 48-month-plus lees ageing has already delivered substantial autolytic complexity; further cellaring deepens the tertiary register.
What grapes are in Cupada?
The three indigenous Cava varieties from Mata i Coloma's 5-hectare organic estate. Gran Reserva Brut Nature aged at least 48 months on lees.
What food pairs with Cupada?
Bacalla a la llauna, roast partridge, aged Idiazabal and wild mushroom risotto. The long-lees Gran Reserva depth rewards serious Catalan and Iberian savoury cooking.
