AboutMaria Rigol Ordi
Maria Rigol Ordi traces its family wine tradition to 1897, when Maria’s grandfather, Modest, began making his own wines. In the early 1980s Maria and her son Francesc started a small cellar beneath the family home in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia; the present house was founded in 1987.
For its cava, hand-picked grapes are gently pressed, and a second fermentation in bottle is followed by extended ageing on lees. The bottles are turned and their sediment removed by hand.
Maria Rigol Ordi 2016 Gran Reserva Brut Nature Cava
Spanish Sparkling
$68.99
Stone fruit and dried apricot meet Mediterranean herbs and subtle balsamic tones. Long ageing brings hazelnut, cocoa, coffee and warm spice, while fine bubbles keep the broad palate composed. Vibrant acidity cuts through the mature, savoury richness, leaving a dry, powerful and exceptionally persistent finish.

Ripe peach, green apple and lemon peel appear with toasted nuts, butter, bread dough and vanilla. Persistent flavours continue through the finish. Macabeo, Parellada and Xarel·lo form the blend. Traditional-method production includes a second fermentation in bottle and at least twenty-four months of bottle ageing, with no sugar added after disgorgement. The wine contains 11.5% alcohol.
Maria Rigol Ordi 2024 Vinya Llarga Xarel·lo
Spanish White
$51.99
Made entirely from Xarel·lo grown in the single Vinya Llarga parcel, the wine is pale straw-yellow, with apple, fennel, lemon-yogurt and saline notes. Half the wine ferments and ages in two 500-litre amphorae, while the other half uses stainless steel. The amphora portion spends six months on its lees. The profile has good acidity, candied fruit and ripe pear, with a lightly lactic finish. The vineyard is farmed organically.

Lime peel, pear and stone fruit lead this brisk Brut Nature, with subtle flowers and a gentle tropical lift appearing as it opens. The bubbles are lively and the texture silky, carrying fresh citrus and a light yeast note into a clean, refreshing finish. Serve well chilled with shellfish, conservas, tapas or medium-aged cheese.
