Winery Review: "Sourdough and white fruit aromas are comported. Moderate acidity means the palate on this brut reserva is good but not clearly defined. Apple and lime flavors are slightly green in front of a finish that barely registers. 86" - MICHAEL SCHACHNER Wine enthusiast
Wine Folly: pg 9. "Cava" - I definitely noticed the lime and citrus notes described here. It's a reserva which means 15 months minimum aging although I would not have been able to tell it was aged at all.
Personal Review: WOw! So fizzy it almost hurts. A very highly carbonated beverage. But this carbonation just adds to the zesty citrus taste already present in the wine. Also pretty dry and mouth-puckering. Somewhat reminiscent of lemon juice but in a good way.
I did not have any food with this wine.
