Cava, Catalunya, Spain
I’m not sure about their whole story of not liking the DOC standards for cava , so they broke off to create their own level of control and accreditation?? But it’s good for marketing I guess and makes a light, citrusy cava

50% XareL-Lo, 40% Macabeo, 10% Parellada
Spain, Barcelona - Conca del Riu Anoia (Not Cava, working on unique DO since 2012)
Clear, lighter side of medium gold, steady stream of bubbles.
Clean, lite autolytic character, medium mineral, could develop further
Dry, medium acidity, sleek body, light autolytic notes before notes of saline mineral, even dispersion of delicate bubbles on palette.
Medium+ finish
Good on its own, better with food, more pronounced acidity saline and autolytic notes with food. bubble basically gone in last pour (1.5 hours). Very much welcomed at my table, very happy.
Old vines in Goblet system from 1964.
Vineyard is an ancient sea bed with fossilized sea shells from way back in the day. Land has been vineyard, and a family estate since 1497 (Raventós and eventually +Codorníu) 1986 Manuel Raventós i Blanc produced the first estate cava.... lots of history, and Biodynamic to boot!
