Drinking Window: 2017 - 2019
Powerful, assertive, toasty nose with real zip – this is a Cava that wakes your palate up mid-tasting thanks to 50% Xarel-lo. It has gained some lime and nutty characteristics over its 60 months on lees and is losing its primacy of fruit, but this wine is all about texture and purity.
