Flores by Carolina Mata is a Traditional Method sparkling wine, inspired by Carolina Mata—the daughter of Patrick Mata, co-founder of Olé & Obrigado, whose family has been producing wine in Spain since the early 1900s. The name and label pay homage to Carolina’s love of flowers and her cherished ritual of bringing fresh blooms home from the market. The floral design on the label reflects not only her joyful spirit but also the wildflowers that grow among the vines and the floral aromatics found in the wine itself. Crafted from estate-grown grapes in the Extremadura region on the western edge of the Iberian Peninsula, this wine is shaped by its unique terroir. Unlike most Spanish sparkling wines sourced from the warmer Mediterranean climate of Penedès, Flores by Carolina Mata is influenced by the cooler Atlantic breezes and clay-rich soils, resulting in a wine that is vibrant, fresh, and full of character.
On the nose and palate: Flores by Carolina Mata is a Traditional Method sparkling wine with fine bubbles and a fresh, floral-driven profile. Aromas of white blossoms, citrus peel, and green apple lead to a dry, vibrant palate layered with lemon, pear, and subtle brioche notes from time on the lees.
