Pretty toasty aromas lead off, followed by lively lemon, pear, melon and apple notes. Moderate on the finish, though clean and fresh at the end.

Made in the Alella district north of Barçelona. Toasty and yeasty, with green apples, pears, and orange peel in the nose. Could fool some people as a Champagne. Very creamy, richly flavored, and full-bodied, yet elegantly structured. A long, clean, dry, toasty finish, with hints of orange peel, green figs and pears.

Aged for a minimum of two years, with no dosage (sugar) added at bottling. A gold edge to the straw color. A pretty, refined nose with hints of honeysuckle. A creamy, not-too-aggressive mousse. Quite fruity for a brut nature, but not sweet. Stylish, with nice orange-peel flavors in the finish. A good dry cava to have with meals.

This just off-dry bubbly marches to the beat of a different drummer. The underlying aromas are of lime, but there’s something strong and earthy that suggests dust, warm tree bark, or acrid honey. That penetrating flavor follows through in the mouth, where it turns a little sweet. But crisp acidity and good bubbles keep things balanced and cheerful.

There’s a spicy tang of lemon zest to the nose, and the wine is made in a fresh, bone-dry style that would go well with a wide variety of spicy/salty/fatty appetizers. But on its own it’s too light and neutral to command much attention.

Clean and attractive, with freshness and some mineral and spice. The palate is accented by white pepper, basil and tarragon, while the fruit leans toward pear. The finish is smooth, as is the mouthfeel.

From a bodega better known for their cavas comes this rustic 100% Tinto del Pais(Tempranillo). It’s well-structured, with a foundation of taut red fruit and sturdy oak—but the tannins are on the gritty side, which, in this case, seems to work fairly well.

Pale copper in color, this wine offers a solid nose of earth, toast, tobacco, caramel and faint cherry. The clean, lightweight mouthfeel is backed by caramel, toast and candied apple flavors. Finishes toasty with a lingering, fruity sweetness on the midpalate. —K.F.

Clean, simple and fresh, with aromatic notes of vanilla and milk chocolate. The palate is dry like club soda, with white grapefruit and tangerine flavors fighting to rise upward. It’s sort of bland, but also sort of good. Fine at cocktail parties. —M.S.

An initial look at the yellow color and faint bead isn’t very encouraging, and frankly speaking, neither is the heavy vanilla and bread dough nose. But if you give it time and dig deep, there’s a mature character, spiced pear and baked apples. Yes, it’s ponderous and won’t be for everyone. But you sort of get the idea that Parxet is trying for its own style. —M.S.
