Probably, the first Spanish sparkling wine that is a world apart from Cava, being produced in the Rioja region. An Atlantic, cool-climate style, of crisp acidity and intense stone fruit expression. Mouthfilling, with an elegant hint of bitterness and steely dryness yet restraint on the finish. The first time I've ever tasted sparkling wine made with Maturana Blanca (45%) and Tempranillo Blanco (30%), along with 15% Viura and 10% Chardonnay. Aged 30 months on the lees. Very promising, a great surprise, and will benefit from more bottle ageing.
