No dosage was added to this dry Sparkling Wine which was aged for 40 months on the lees prior to disgorgement in June 2016. The wine is a blend of Xarel-Lo (40%) with the remainder Macabeo (30%) and Parellada (30%). A golden hued wine, there are rich aromatics of Marcona almond, brioche, apricot, and Gala apple. This leads to flavors of cantaloupe, brioche, green papaya and baking spices. The weight on the mid-palate gives this an added richness. While this possesses some aging potential, it is drinking exceedingly well right now. (Best 2017-2026) - April, 2017 (OB)
