This Cava is produced from some of their best grapes sourced from the Western portion of Requena from vineyards with a Northern orientation. Base wines are selected for aromatic expression not neutrality. Production follows traditional methods with secondary fermentation in bottle followed by 15 months aging on the lees. Total residual sugar after disgorgement and dosage is 8g/l.

“This cava is a bit more champagne-like than most, thanks to the 20 percent of the blend being chardonnay. The chardonnay lends body and richness, along with ripe fruit notes and a bit of sweetness to match the red-fruit flavors of currant and raspberry. This is delightful bubbly, and easy to find. Alcohol by volume: 11.5 percent”

Pale yellow. Aromas of fresh citrus and pit fruits, musky herbs and white flowers, backed by a subtle mineral note. Silky and seamless on the palate, offering fresh orange, peach and honeysuckle flavors and slow-building spiciness. Closes with good clarity and thrust, leaving candied ginger and floral notes behind.”
88pts Wine Enthusiast – N/V
“Green apple, citrus and distant celery aromas feed into a fresh, peppy, citrusy palate with tangerine, lime and pink grapefruit flavors. The finish is citrusy like the palate, meaning it’s bright, juicy and dry.”
