Bodegas Emendis Nuallonge Cava Brut

The "Artistic Soul" of Penedès – A Tribute to Dalí

The Vibe

If you like your sparkling wine with a side of culture, Nu Allongé (French for "Reclining Nude") is a tribute to a sketch by the legendary Catalan painter Salvador Dalí. Produced by Finca Emendis in the heart of the Penedès (Castellet i la Gornal), this Cava is designed to be "pure" and "unmasked." While many commercial Cavas can feel generic, the "Nu" (Naked) range focuses on estate-grown fruit and low-intervention winemaking. In 2026, it remains a favorite for its balance of high-end complexity and approachable price.

The Nose

The nose is a classic "springtime" bouquet. It leads with white flowers (jasmine and honeysuckle) and a very clean, citrus-driven profile of grapefruit and tangerine. Because it spends 14 months on the lees (sur latte), you get that quintessential "Cava backbone": aromas of freshly baked bread, raw almonds, and a hint of beeswax. It’s fragrant without being heavy.

The Taste

On the palate, it is discreet, elegant, and medium-bodied. The bubbles (mousse) are fine and well-integrated, not aggressive.

• The Profile: You’ll taste green apple and pear, but there is a distinct "bitter-fresh" finish—similar to grapefruit pith—that gives the wine serious structure.

📋 Product Specs

Best Paired With:

• The "Tapas" Classic: Salty Marcona almonds, olives, or thin slices of Manchego cheese.

• The Main Event: Light seafood dishes, such as grilled sea bass or a cold seafood salad.

• The Social Move: It's the perfect "party starter" because its high acidity and clean finish refresh the palate for food.
