Fresh, ripe, inviting and 180° opposite of this producer’s white cavas, which seem bubbly and fizzy compared to this balanced, subtle, even smoky offering. In the mouth, it’s tasty and dry, with cherry nuances going stride for stride with pink grapefruit and raspberry. A refined rosé Cava that’s sure to light your fire.

Apple and powdery citrus aromas are austere but intriguing. But in the mouth, this thing foams like bubble bath. No matter whether you like the wine’s citric flavors and apple essence or not, the fact that it bubbles up like a shaken soda is not an attribute. Oriel’s gran reserva is similar in terms of carbonation issues.

There’s something not right about the way this winery is fermenting its Cavas because both this and Oriol Rossell’s regular brut are excessively foamy. As a result, this gran reserva’s apple and spice aromas and flavors are rendered moot by the gaseous explosion that occurs when liquid hits palate.
