Mainly Xarel·lo, with 9% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir, all farmed biodynamically. Golden in the glass, with fine bubbles. Lots of interest here: freshly cut lemons, grapefruit pith, herbs, nuts, fennel, with an underlying stony minerality. Brisk acidiy and a crisp, mouthwatering finish. A great aperitif style.

Deep gold. Rich, toasty aroma. Golden fruit – yellow plum, orange zest and apricot. Deep and inviting. Toasty and savoury on the palate, the toastiness giving a lightly charred note on the finish. Spiced and golden on the palate. A wonderfully rich, complex and bone-dry, fresh cava. Powerful, almost meaty in its density (not in its flavour). A wine-drinker's cava.
