NV Bohigas Sparkling Brut Reserva CAVA Penedes Spain

WSI92+ Pale yellow. Fine bubbles forming a constant rosary and persistent crown. Very fresh aroma of white fruit (tart apple and pear) on notes of citric rind and white flowers.Spicy bouquet due to ageing (cinnamon) and biscuits. A structured cava on the palate, well balanced acidity that tenses the whole from beginning to finish. The bubble gives a sensation of creaminess, providing volume and softness to the structure bestowed by the acidity and extending the aromas of white fruit and spices that repeat on the palate. Balanced finish that harmonises its acidity, leaving behind a sensation of freshness and volume due to its slight content in sugars.
