Loxarel
Gran Reserva Familair Méthode Traditionnelle Brut Nature Reserva Xarel-lo
Cava, Catalunya, Spain
Pale straw yellow color with plenty of very active tiny bubbles. On the nose it shows quince, stone fruit, hazelnut, pastry dough, dried herb and chalk aromas with a hint of citrus. On the palate it shows a very creamy delicate mousse with quince, apricot, peach, flavors with hint of lemon curd flavors with an appealing chalky, lemony, minerality. Long finish. It's a blend of organic Chardonnay, Xarel-lo, and Macabeo grapes from high altitude vineyards in Penedes. Aged in contact with the lees in bottle for 50 months with no dosage. It's not Cava, it's Sparkling Penedes Espumoso

Apr 9th, 2016This wine rivals a lesser Champagne in roundness and complexity. Red fruits a few days ago have given way to celery notes and all spice.
