Edicion Limitada Reserva De La Familia Brut Nature Cava Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada

Delicious affordable cava. Steely, briney, punchy mineralogy.

Has notes of pear, flowers, and citrus on the nose. Is sweet at the start and fizzled out to a quick finish. Is lightly dry.

7.5-8.0

Very fresh and clean, really hard to dislike in any way if you like fizzy deliciousness.

Haven't tasted this wine for more than 2 years, and tasting this particular vintage for the first time. In my memory this was a powerful blockbuster, but in reality it's calm and straight-forward. Well made, yet with non-beginner-friendly bouquet and palate. Lots of plastic on the background of pear and apples. There are notes of bread, but this bread is as stale and dry as my exs' heart (mandatory joke even though I don't have an ex). Good acidity, precise, but lacks volume and complexity. All-in-all, good Cava in an old-school style.

Killer! Wine access

Really impressive cava for the price. Good depth and body. Drinks like a champagne. 2016.

A nice surprise. Bubbles themselves not great but actually a very interesting nose and generally more going on than expected
