My favorite of the two sparkling Cavas is the non-vintage Brut Reserva Cava. Made from a classic blend (for this area) of Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada planted in limestone and clay soils, the wine spends 24 months on its lees before disgorgement. It is an excellent value for consumers looking for alternatives to French Champagne. Lemon/lime, crushed rock and white currant notes are present in this crisp, elegant, refreshing, zesty, dry sparkler. Hints of wheat thins and brioche add complexity. Enjoy this medium-bodied offering over the next 1-2 years.

It combines perfectively well with the pairing of every meal with rice, fish, meat or desserts.

Tasting notes

This classic Spanish Cava has an elegant color and constant bubbles. It has very fruity aromas, especially apple and pear with citrus peel and white flowers. It is a well-structured wine in the mouth with great balanced acidity. The fine bubbles give it a creamy feeling and add volume to the structure. The finishes is delicate & harmonious.

Vinification

After bottling, the second fermentation takes place in the underground cellars, at low, constant temperature throughout the period of fermentation and rests during 24 months.
