Caves Roger Goulart Gran Reserva Cava

60% Xare-lo, 20% Macabeo, and 20% Parellada. The wines employed for cava production are chosen with great care and are subject to a minimum ageing period of four years. After 24 months – and once a year – the bottles in ageing are subject to the déplacé technique, which consists of shaking the bottles in order to homogenize the yeast and obtain a greater extraction in terms of their aromatic and taste potential, over their more than 48 months of ageing. The result is a delicate cava with a pale yellow coloring, light golden tones and an incredible sparkle, as well as interesting, complex and powerful bouquets.

'One of the rare successes of 'foreign' wineries in fine Cava territory, Rioja-based CVNE improves year after year the quality of its top cuvées. This gran reserva is a reference for top classic aged Cava, integrating fine brioche and yeasty notes with touches of tropical and citrus fruit. Soft and easygoing on the palate, it gives a very open aftertaste, marked by the long ageing. A most affordable luxury.' - Decanter - 91 points
