The Gran Reserva cavas are bottle-aged for at least 30 months, while the some “collection” cavas has an optimal ageing period of over 10 years. All the grapes are organically farmed, using the local varieties Mataró and Pansa Blanca, and all the bottles are retailed immediately after being disgorged. A passion for cava that has been rewarded with many international prizes.

Wine Tasting Notes:

Sight - Fine bubble and pale yellow with green hues.
Nose - White fruit aromas with delicate citrus and green almond notes.
Palate - On the palate, light and fresh : real expression of the white fruit aromas. Given its ageing over the lies, we can perceive notes of pastry, bubbles well integrated and a delicate aftertaste.

Jancis Robinson Review of 2018 Vintage: Tasted blind in the context of portfolio. Lemon in colour. Salty bread-dough aroma. Fine mousse, zesty acidity. Lemon peel, lime, white grapefruit with its corresponding pithiness, raw sweet almond, juicy green apple, chalk, a slight rubber aroma (not at all in a bad way, in a characteristically Cava way). The aromatics are quite fresh and layered with more fruit (rather than secondary character) than the other Cavas. Plenty of minerality though. Persistent finish with bread-dough autolytic quality. Absolutely lovely. -- Samantha Cole-Johnson
