Alta Alella Cava Brut Nature Mirgin Gran Reserva 2018 Organic 750ml

A light, structured, fruity Cava, given the personal touch of Josep Maria Pujol-Busquets.

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
