Castell d'Age 2018 Cava Aurèlia Brut Nature Gran Reserva
This is an authoritative, fine Cava which brings off the challenge of no dosage with aplomb. The addition of 10% Chardonnay to the traditional blend of Macabeo (40%), Xarel-lo (40%) and Parellada (10%) lends it a measure of suaveté, while the minimum of 30 months’ aging on the lees imparts a beautifully complex and long flavour. This is the acme of refinement in Cava, well worth its price.
