Reserva

Guilera is a boutique, family-run producer founded in 1927, making Reserva and Gran Reserva Cava with extended ageing – Guilera Agosarat, the top wine, spends an incredible 17 years on lees. The vineyards are certified organic and viticulturist and oenologist Pere Guilera aims for a ‘circular bioeconomy’ in which all raw materials (grapes, yeast and concentrated grape must, used in place of sugar to start the second fermentation) come from their own vineyards. The remarkable freshness here is a result of the dry 2006 vintage. Christine Parkinson: Vividly savoury, bone dry but refreshing. A core of baked fruit and barbecued meat. Firm but subtle texture, ultra-long finish. Piercing but elegant acidity lends energy and balance. Sarah Jane Evans MW: Buttery bruised apples. Limpid palate: pure, saline, mineral, with savoury citrus freshness. Long, toasty finish. Valentin Radosav: Red apples, quince and evolved aromas. Complex, with brioche notes. The very fine, velvety mousse helps brighten the more evolved fruit flavours.
