Aromas of crisp stone fruit aromas with yeasty notes, good bubble flow. Clean fresh palate of apple and pear with vibrant acidity, good balance on medium length finish showing some minerality on ending. Tasting Sample. Nice value.

Pale yellow-white in color. Fresh yeast and floral notes in nose. Lemon and melon flavors in mouth, a bit frothy on finish. Nice tiny bubbles in glass, but not quite as dry as one might like (or is it just fruity rather than sweet on the palate?) Slightly bitter aftertaste. Not sure how to feel about this one

The wine is pale lemon-green with bubbles. / The wine is clean and has medium(-) intensity aromas of green fruit(apple), citrus fruit(lemon, lime), some yeast(bread). / The wine is dry with high acidity, no tannin, medium(-) alcohol, and medium body with creamy but slightly aggressive texture. It has medium flavor intensity of green fruit(apple), citrus fruit(lemon, lime), tropical fruit(melon), and yeast(bread), yet each flavor seems slightly riper on the palate. The finish is medium(+) and refreshing. / Good wine, although not concentrated, the wine has balanced primary and secondary aromas and flavors with a nice refreshing acidity. However, it lacks the concentration and depth to be very good. / The wine is ready to drink but not suitable for further ageing. It is fully developed, and its fruitiness will go away with age.

Drank too much and got a headache but that's probably because of the orange juice. Was tasty at the time.

Best cava I have had in a long while. Just slightly sweet. Ever so slight

Not bad but nothing to write home about. Dull pear and grapefruit. We made cider cocktails, still had a great presence in the juice.
