Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: light-bodied, high acidity, dry
A step up from standard Cordon Negro, this Cava blends the classic trio of Macabeo, Xarel-lo and Parellada with extra aging for a bit more depth and creamy texture. Expect crisp green apple and citrus notes with a touch of toasty, bready character from time on the lees, all wrapped in bright, refreshing acidity. It's an easy, food-friendly sparkler meant for casual celebrations rather than serious cellaring.
Serving: Serve at 6–8 °C.
