Cava Blanca Cusiné 2016
- 93 points -
This biodynamic Gran Reserva Guarda Superior Cava is laced in umami notes of sesame oil, stewed jackfruit, nuts, saffron, and apple sauce. A deep golden in the glass reflects nearly a decade spent in bottle. It opens up to bruised apples, orange skin, yeasty bread, turmeric, and golden raisins, with ample salinity and wet stone minerality. It’s a balance of freshness with age. Made mostly with Xarel.lo and some Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this wine punches far above its retail price. Pair with sushi.
