WTN: 16 year old Cava anyone?

2009 Pere Mata Cava 20th Anniversary Cuvée - Spain, Cava (5/4/2025)
A 2009 vintage Cava disgorged in 2024? Never would have thought I would see such a thing. It’s real though, and quite delicious. There’s a creaminess to the palate, and it has more mid-palate depth than most all Cava (even the other excellent wines from Pere Mata). More doughy/bready as well, though there is still crisp, tart citrus fruit. Really glad I bought some of this, and even happier to have more bottles left.

I always rush out to buy Pere Mata cava whenever I am in Spain - great sparkling wines at great prices.

I need more wine like I need a hole in the head, but I just ordered another case of Pere Mata.

Sounds great. I was going to say I like the Mata wines, but turns out the Mata I know is Agustí Torello Mata, not Pere Mata.

They are great too! I guess it doesn't 'mata' which one you choose!

Just avoid anti mata.
