Gran Seleccion Cordon Negro Brut Cava Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada
Cava, Catalunya, Spain
NV Poor man’s champagne for everyone in Catalonia. Much yeast in smell, vibrant taste. My Sunday breakfast bubbly.

Last tried this about 3 years ago. Clear straw yellow with vibrant bubbles. Fresh lively fruit aromas with a bright and crisp edge. On the palate ripe stone fruit flavors with a touch of citrus and a bit of yeast. The finish is about medium, had lively acidity and good balance. Consistent quality. A real bargain for $10.

Quite OK Brut to celebrate something. Some apples in aroma, slight citrus notes in taste.

Pretty disappointing … only because I’ve had better from this producer. You can’t really expect much for the price. Usually my favorite under $10 but I overpaid for this bottle. Tasted 4 September 2022

One of my favourite Cava’s. Converted a Prosecco only drinker to try others.
