Straw yellow with greenish highlights. Fine and abundant bubble, Good legs, and dense crown. Intense aromatics with fruity notes: green apple, amalgamated with fine balsamics, toasted, and spicy touches coming from the cask. In the mouth at the same time dry and glyceric, dense and creamy froth, standing out above all the fruit freshness and the balsamic notes on a vanilla and toasted bottom.
What the critics say...

The 2007 Reserva Barrica is 100% Macabeo partially barrel-fermented and aged on its lees for 2-3 years with no dosage after disgorgement. It offers up an enticing nose with a hint of buttered popcorn, mineral, baking apices, and assorted white fruits. Rich and mouth-filling on the palate, this lengthy, full-flavored effort over-delivers in a big way. Drink it over the next several years.

Bright golden yellow colour. Scents of nuts, herbal toiletries. On palate, powerful, tasty, good acidity, fine bubble, fine bitterness.
With the aim to elaborate Cava in its maximum expression, three autochthonous varieties are selected from the best subfields of the Penedés: Xarel.lo, Parellada and Macabeo, to which the mediterranean weather will give a few singular characteristics and personality. With a careful process... which goes from the election of the best ´crus of the Penedés´, passing a rigorous control of the vineyards, up to a selection and harvest by hand... are the key of its secret: Technology and tradition go together to respect and to promote the virtudes of its Cavas.
Alcohol abuse can be dangerous.
