Details
Whilst the 'Adda' may be made up of Cava's three usual suspects; Macabeo, Xarel-lo and Parellada, this wine turns the narrative on its head and sees Parellada as the dominant variety, which is rare. The result is a floral iteration of Cava with white fruit notes and a flinty, stony minerality.
Meet Joan Miquel Canals and his talented team who have been crafting epic Spanish sparkling wines out of the Cava designation since the late 1990s. Joan himself has a doctorate in oenology (winemaking), he is considered by his peers to be an expert in sensory perception and has written and published over 50 articles on sparkling wine - are you excited to taste his wine yet? We discovered Canals Nadal in the spring of 2023 whilst meeting with an agent who has some awesome wines in his locker. At Good Pair Days, we have always prided ourselves on showcasing the very best of Spanish sparkling wine, and we weren't actually looking for another Cava... until we tasted these. Everything in the vineyard and cellar is done by hand and their wines are produced from organic grapes. We were particularly impressed with their 'Adda' cuvée, which utilises the three core grapes of Cava, but sees Parellada as the dominant variety in the blend - it's awesome! Canals Nadal's wines are brand new and exclusive to Good Pair Days.
