Joan Sarda 2020 Chardonnay
Roqueta bought this Cava estate in 2019. As we have two sparkling producers already in Penedès, we have not yet taken on theirs, but we were simply knocked out by the quality and seriousness of this whimsically-labelled wine, which conquered all our reservations about this most universal of grapes. With a depth of flavour that belies its 12% alcohol, a real salty tang and an absence of any oak influence, this is a standard-setter of its kind.
