Rosat Trepat Brut Reserva
Made from 100% trepat, a native Catalan variety that’s known for its bright acidity and fresh red berry flavours. Aged a minimum of 18 months on the lees, but check the disgorgement date on the back – like all ATM cavas, it’s disgorged only once the winery is ready to send it out.

A blend of ripe and dried fruit aromas on the nose, with hints of fresh bread, jasmine and a slight honeyed quality. On the palate, the wine is rich but balanced, with fine acidity and a delicate but persistent perlage.
This cava spends at least 36 months on its lees before disgorgement, the date of which is noted on the label.
Only available in magnum.

Xarel-lo 'Xic'
Light, bright and playful, packed with citrus and green apple notes and a whiff of lees for a bit of contrast. The image on the label says it all: this is an uncomplicated wine made for quaffing. But it's organic so you can feel good while you're doing it.

Augustí Torelló Matá
Agustí Torelló Matá is a family company producing distinguished reserva and gran reserva cavas in the Penedès region. Founded in 1950 by Agustí Torelló, the winery is committed to using only Spanish varieties macabeo, xarel·lo and parellada from vineyards in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, the capital of Cava and the heart of the Penedès region. The estate owns 40 hectares, with long-standing contracts on 60 more, and only uses fruit from vines that are at least 30 years old. All vineyards are worked organically, and this practice continues into the winery.
There is a strong focus on macabeo at Agustí Torelló Matá. It’s thin-skinned and can be difficult to work with, but it brings a delicate fruit profile that makes these cavas stand out from all the rest. Xarel·lo plays a secondary role, adding structure and acid, with parellada bringing up the rear.
As a guarantee of quality, all cavas are vintage-dated and carry the date of disgorgement, highlighting the long lees ageing the top wines receive. In addition, the estate produces organic still wines from the local varieties under the DO Penedès appellation.
