| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
VILARNAU |
| Bright light straw colour with streams of tiny bubbles. Fairly intense, fresh, slightly spicy, attractive, floral, ripe, apple-melon-pear-lemon fruit on the nose. Dry, medium to medium-light bodied, well balanced, slightly spicy, fresh, harmonious, ripe, lemon-melon-pear-apple fruit flavours with a lingering, fairly crisp, mineral-tinged, effervescent finish. Has over 15 months on lees aging in the bottle. Terrific value, this crowd-pleasing, ready-to-drink, organic blend of 50% Macabeo, 35% Parellada and 15% Xarel.lo has 11.5% alcohol, 9 g/L residual sugar and 5.7 g/L total acidity. |

| TASTING NOTE: Vilarnau uses native yeasts to ferment the Viura, Xarel-lo and Parellada grapes in this stylish Cava. There are many layers to unravel in this lovely wine; look for notes of yellow apple, biscuits, and hints of jasmine. [The Sakura Japan Women's Wine Awards did not include a tasting note.] Score - Double Gold (Sakura Japan Women's Wine Awards, 2022) |
