The 2022 Hispano Suizas Tantum Ergo Chardonnay Pinot Noir Brut Nature is an elegant, traditional-method Spanish sparkling wine that brings Champagne sensibilities to Utiel-Requena.

This cuvée has helped redefine what premium sparkling wine from Valencia can be, showcasing Hispano Suizas’ drive for precision, finesse, and international-class quality.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Brut Nature shows a pale straw to light gold hue with fine, persistent bubbles forming a delicate mousse. The nose is refined and complex, offering notes of crisp green apple, lemon zest, white flowers, and fresh brioche, layered with hints of pear, almond, and a subtle mineral edge. On the palate, it’s dry and taut with a sleek, linear structure. Lively acidity frames flavors of citrus, green and yellow apple, and stone fruit, supported by nuances of toasted bread, hazelnut, and a touch of chalky salinity from the terroir. The mousse is creamy yet vibrant, leading to a long, clean, mouthwatering finish that emphasizes freshness over opulence. Enjoyable now for its energy and precision, it also has the structure to evolve positively over the next 3–5 years, gaining additional complexity and autolytic character.

Production
Sourced from carefully selected vineyards in Utiel-Requena, the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir benefit from the region’s higher altitudes, continental-Mediterranean climate, and limestone-rich soils that promote slow ripening and natural acidity—ideal for top-quality sparkling wine. Grapes are harvested by hand at night or in the coolest hours to preserve aromatic freshness and integrity. In the cellar, each variety is vinified separately, with gentle pressing and cool fermentation in stainless steel to retain purity of fruit. The base wines are then blended, bottled for secondary fermentation following the traditional method, and aged on the lees for an extended period before disgorgement. As a Brut Nature, no dosage is added, allowing the terroir and precise winemaking to take center stage.

Food & Serving
This Brut Nature is a versatile food partner, ideal with oysters, fresh shellfish, sushi, sashimi, and delicate white fish dishes. It also pairs beautifully with lightly fried seafood, tempura, ceviche, soft goat cheese, and refined tapas such as jamón ibérico, croquetas, or boquerones. Serve well chilled at 6–8°C (43–46°F) to emphasize its freshness and fine bubbles. While decanting is not necessary, opening the bottle a few minutes before serving and pouring into quality tulip-shaped sparkling wine glasses will help the aromas unfurl and the texture fully express itself.
