Wine tasting

With good release of very fine bubbles, it is pale and yellow with many greenish notes. On the nose it is floral, with notes of spices and orange blossom. On the palate it is very dry, with flavors of toast, nuts and flour oven that combine with those of ripe fruits without falling into compotes or raisins, remaining very well balanced by the aging of the cava. It is very persistent, and leaves complex flavors that are maintained over time.

Made with one of the best vintages, it preserves the characteristics of the vintage, without losing its personality, even increasing the sensations of balance and complexity, which makes it a unique cava.

Conservation and consumption recommendations

Store in the same position as when served, in a cool, dry place away from light.
Serve at 6-10ºC depending on the season and personal tastes.

Gastronomy

Delicious with meat and fish carpaccio. Special with seafood and roast beef. Try it with sushi and salted fish, such as roe and anchovies. Also with smoked meats. I like it with pasta, as an appetizer, and at any time of the day, but especially when we can have enough time to enjoy it in peace.
