Cava (Xarello, Macabeo)

“Straw hue with golden highlights. Intense with clear notes of maturity under a constant veil of freshness. Baked apple and sweet pears. Ripe citrus, grapefruit peel. Faded flowers and a herbal backdrop reminiscent of fennel and rosemary. The ageing notes run through a gamut of aro- mas which includes hazelnuts, pastries, toast, brioche and toffee. The cava beco- mes more and more expressive as it opens up in the glass. Powerful on entry with great structure. The carbon dioxide is fine and creamy. Loads of candied fruit balanced by the notes from ageing. The balsamic aromas come through again. Lively, refreshing finish on the palate. The aftertaste is never-ending”
