(Penedes, Spain)
A textured and complex dry Cava made from very old vineyards in the protected park of Foix, Penedes. The wine spends over four years on its yeasts in the bottle, but still has a 'transparency' to it. The fruit is very much there, it's floral and bright alongside bready notes, and is remarkably elegant. Opulent but fresh at 11.5% abv
Made by Maria & Pep, a couple who started from scratch in 2012 after taking over some old vineyards, and have slowly built this project into the successful and experimental winery it is today
