The 2015 III Lustros Brut Nature was produced with a blend of 70% Xarel.lo and 30% Macabeo from the 22.5 hectares of the Font Jui vineyard (now mentioned on the labels). 2015 was warm and dry with low yields. The wine matured in bottle with the lees after refermenting in bottle closed with a cork stopper for close to eight years. It is a very intense and concentrated year, with complex aromas, expressive, elegant and balanced, with subtle smoke and toast aromas and a seamless palate that is velvety with abundant, very fine bubbles. From this year, the blend is different from that of Celler Batlle. 58,000 bottles produced. It was disgorged in November 2023.

Lemon-coloured, ripe yellow apple, grape, and elegant yellow flower aromas. Expressive, refreshing mousse integrates well with ripe fruit, offering marigold, quince, kiwi, and creamy brioche flavours. Ripe white apple, green fig, honeyed aromas; palate opens with vanilla, sugared almonds, flashes of lavender, and orange blossom. Creamy, nutty, mature, balanced, with floral and patisserie notes. Brisk palate, firm mousse, lemon curd notes, developing into a bold, intense, savoury, mineral, resounding finish.

The 2015 Brut Nature Lustros is a Corpinnat blend of 70% Xarel·lo and 30% Macabeo sourced from Penedès. Crafted using the traditional method, it spent 90 months on the lees under natural cork before disgorgement. This evolved wine presents aromas of brioche, toasted bread, praline and hazelnut. On the palate, it offers a dry, vibrant, mousse-like texture that lingers with faintly Sherry-like flavors, complemented by a chalky, compact mouthfeel.
