Description/ Tasting Notes
This is a well balanced cava, with both acidity and body. It is a pale yellow, barely tinged with green and has a quick-rising fine bubble that forms a good crown. It has fruity notes of apple and pear and a nice citric backdrop on the palate. It has a pleasingly long finish.Winery Info/ Brand
