Pere Ventura Gran Vintage Brut Paraje Calificado Can Bas 2016
12% alcohol, cork, Penedés/Spain.

Spanish Cava, grown organically, made with Macabeo and Xarel-lo grapes. Matured for eight years prior to release.

So pale in the glass but then such personality. Honey, yellow stonefruit, cider apples, bread and roses. Such a heady, complex stream of flavour delivered in such a complex, lengthy package. I kept coming back to this wine and kept loving it. It’s a wine of understated beauty. 94 points.
