Cordón Negro Brut

Tasting profile

Structure: light-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry

Freixenet's black-bottled Cava, made by the traditional method at Sant Sadurní d'Anoia in the Penedès from the three classic Catalan varieties, Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada. Crisp and dry, with green apple, lemon and pear, a light almond and toast note from its time on the lees, and a lively mousse. An everyday sparkler, ready on release.
