Cava is Spain’s ‘champagne’. This lovely Brut Nature (the driest classification for a sparkling wine) is made using two red grapes, Trepat and Garnacha, which are responsible for its beautiful color.
This lovely bubbly is a bone dry, traditional-style cava with pure fruit of black cherry, pomegranate and raspberry, a touch of pepper, light yeasty bready notes with the fine bubble finishing crisp and clean.
