More delightful fizz from Spain's answer to Champagne. This Cava is made up of organic fruit and display fresh citrus notes of lime, lemon and grapefruit. Time in bottles gives a slight brioche, beeswax character to the wine that is all pulled together by a vein of acidity. A touch of residual sugar makes this dangerously drinkable and delicious.

While many other Cava producers in Catalonia in the '90s were resting on their laurels, happy to be considered a cheap version of Champagne, the Domenech family of Vallformosa knew that their produce had plenty to say in its own right. For over a hundred and fifty years, they’ve grown characterful and flavourful grapes on their ancestral land, survived a bloody civil war, and dealt with drought as well as restrict wine laws. It’s fair to say that they’re a family of vintners who don’t quit easily. The Vallformosa Cava's are a real benchmark for the classic style of Spanish sparkling - light, driven by a green apple freshness and with a real focus to them. The secret to this inimitable style? The blend of native Spanish grapes that are used in the production, blended with Chardonnay for richness and power. This clever mix enables the wines to express a real definition of Spanish terroir, and still remain taut, linear and fresh. Salud!
