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
