Barcino Barcino Belle Epoque Cava Brut NV 750ml

This sensational non-vintage Barcino Cava was made from a solera system where the dosage was started in the 1940s. A blend of 55% Xarello, 25% Macabeo and 20% Parellada, from vines planted in 1995, this crisp, delicious, dry sparkler spent 12 months on its lees. Attractive notes of honeyed brioche, poached pear and caramelized grapefruit jump from the glass of this zesty, light-bodied, exceptionally well-crafted, pure, fresh cava. Enjoy it over the next year.

Pale yellow-gold. Nicely expressive on the nose, displaying cling peach, yellow apple and fennel scents and a smoky mineral topnote. Fleshy, dry and focused on the palate, offering ripe citrus and orchard fruit flavors that are given a spicy edge by a ginger nuance. Finishes smooth and sappy, displaying good persistence and lingering toastiness.
