NV Bohigas Cava Brut Reserva

From: Catalunya, SpainBlend: Xarello, Macabeo, ParalledaWine Specific Notes: This NV Cava Brut Reserva is a blend of the indigenous grapes Xarel-lo, Macabeo, and Parellada. These grapes were grown on vines planted in clay and limestone soils in an area with very low rainfall. The first fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature. The wine is then bottled along with yeast and some added sugar for the second fermentation, which takes place in the bottle in an underground cellar for 24 months. Dosage is 8 grams per liter, while the Brut designation allows between 6-12 grams.Taste and Critical Acclaim: Straw yellow in color with golden hues, this wine has aromas of white flowers, green apple, pear, grapefruit, and an inviting toastiness. It feels extremely fresh on the palate as its tiny bubbles burst, revealing notes of tangerine, crisp apple, dried apricot, lemon-lime, nuanced minerality, and a beautiful yeasty brioche quality.“My favorite of the two spar
