As the exclusive importer of Cava Mestres in the Netherlands, we can offer a Special Edition which is produced especially for Grandcru wines. The very high quality Reserva version is available in a Brut and a Brut Rosé and has had no less than 30+ months aging according to the méthode traditionnelle (or Méthode Champenoise). The MESTRES family has been documented in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia since 1312. The family has been associated with the wine world for 29 generations, making it one of the oldest (CAVA) winery in the world.

For the Mestres Reserva Brut, 2 natural corks are used to produce the Cava. This is what makes the Mestres so unique. You only see this (more expensive) process with the very exclusive champagne brands (normally, a crown stool is used first and only the natural cork is used for disgorgement). Since very long aging is used at Mestres, the porosity of the cork ensures a refinement of the wine.

The base wine is obtained at a controlled temperature of 14-15oC. The second fermentation in the bottle is completed in contact with the first 100% natural cork, in horizontal position and aging for no less than 30 months in the traditional bottle on its own yeasts in CAVA MESTRES. After the disgorgement (the manual process of removing dead yeast cells) the 2nd cork is placed. The Reserva Rosé is a Brut (five to six grams of sugar) Cava produced with Trepat (45%) Monastrell (30%) Pinot Noir (25%). All sparkling wines from Mestres are aged in bottle under cork. Mestres is a very traditional Cava producer and is compared in style by Parker to the "López de Heredia & Tondonia" among the Cavas.

In the glass, the Rosé Cava Brut has a bright pink light salmon color with very fine and elegant bubbles (perlage). In the nose intense and delicate aromas of red fruit with a floral touch and a slightly spicy background. On the palate, the Mestres Brut Rosé Reserva is very fresh, structured with a subtle finish that is complex and balanced. Pleasant and pleasant to drink. The advice of CAVAS MESTRES is not to drink the wine too cold. The recommended temperature is between 10-15 degrees, with a slightly higher temperature the flavors come into their own much better.

FACT: MESTRES has always printed the date of disgorgement on the label.

About Mestres
The MESTRES family has been documented in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia since 1312. The family has been associated with the wine world for 29 generations, making it one of the oldest (CAVA) winery in the world.

During the Christmas of 1928 , the first bottle of Cava MESTRES was released, which Josep Mestres Manobens produced with grapes from the 1925 vintage. From this date, the family specialized in the production of sparkling wines with a very long maturation made according to the champagne way, namely the traditional method. From that moment on they only focused on high quality and MESTRES grew into a reference and benchmark for top cavas. Josep Mestres Manobens is the one who started with a high-quality base wine to make a Cava by means of a 'champagne' (method 'champenoise') without adding a sugar liquid (this is used for the extra fermentation by most houses), which he called "Visol" ((WINE ON IT'S OWN). At Mestres they only work with wine and no additives. This is how the first Brut Nature was born and is registered in the Patent and Trademark office since 1948. Mestres are thus the Parents of Brut Nature Today, the 29th generation of the MESTRES family follows the path of their predecessors and maintains that restless and enterprising spirit that characterized the MESTRES family, a winery with seven centuries of history.

During all these years we have been able to follow tradition and respect a philosophy of unique elaboration, bringing the name MESTRES and the word CAVA to excellence. Mestres is the living history of Cava. Today, MESTRES cavas all have very high ratings.

Vineyard for Cava Mestres Reserva Brut Rosé Special Edition

The MESTRES family have been documented in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia since 1312 as owners of vineyards and also traders of grains and wines. The family has been connected to the wine world for 29 generations. At the time, the date of 1312 was taken as the year of the establishment of the MESTRES vineyards. This is confirmed in the first labels of sparkling wine: 1312. In MESTRES there is still a great documentation of the ancestors: parchments and documents from 1312, 1591, 1607, 1832, 1901 ..., the milestones in the history of the family which allows us to affirm our commitment to the world of wine through the ages.

During the Christmas of 1928, the first bottle of Cava MESTRES was released, which Josep Mestres Manobens produced with grapes from the vintage 1925. From this date, the family specialized in the production of sparkling wines with a very long maturation made according to the champagne production method. the traditional method. From that moment on, they have only focused on high quality and MESTRES has grown into a reference and benchmark for top cavas. Josep Mestres Manobens is the one who started with a high quality of the base wine and the long aging with cork stopper and this allowed him to make a 'champagne' (method 'champenoise') without adding a sugar liquid (this is used for the extra fermentation by most houses), which he called "Visol" ((WINE ON IT'S OWN). At Mestres they only work with wine and no additives. This is how the first Brut Nature was born and is registered in the Patent and Trademark office since 1948. The Visol was also known as triple dry (triple sec) because it did not contain sugar, so it is tightly dry, so Mestres are the parents of Brut Nature.Today the 29th generation of the MESTRES family follows the path from their predecessors and maintains that restless and enterprising spirit that characterized the MESTRES family, a winery with seven centuries of history.

Due to the double natural cork and the long aging, the Cava's are in style with the white Tondonia wines. Luis Guiterez of Parker writes "Mestres are a kind of Lopez de Heredia of Cava" Together with Recaredo, Mestres is without doubt the Specialist in Long Aged Cava's in which their top models are more than 30 years old before they can leave the impressive cellar and we have even been able to taste wines over 60 years old and these are still very much alive and spit out of the glass.

During all these years we have been able to follow the tradition and respect a philosophy of unique elaboration, bringing the name MESTRES and the word CAVA to excellence. Mestres is the living history of Cava. Today, MESTRES' Cavas all have very high ratings.
