Cavas beyond the ordinary

Cavas beyond the ordinary contains two cavas of the absolute top class that work in perfect harmony with main courses or aged cheeses. The bottles come in a beautiful box. Both cavas were on Decanter's list of top 10 "must taste" cavas in 2024.

1 x Nodal Gran Reserva Brut Nature | Stored in min. 50 months

Forns Raventos Nodal Reserva Brut Nature is a serious organic cava. In the glass a clean and light color with golden tones, fine and persistent bubbles. The nose smells discreetly of hazelnuts and melon. The mouth is dry and complex with a hint of petroleum notes like ripe Riesling. Good acidity and a small phenolic bite at the end. Not a pleaser bubble for a wedding reception, more of a food wine for, for example, aged and creamy cheeses, preferably with a rim. Produced without sulfites. Only 4,300 bottles annually.

1 x Montargull Gran Reserva Amb Suro Brut Nature | Stored for 48 months.

This Gran Reserva is made with grapes selected from the oldest and best vines (Macabeu (45%) | Xarello (45%) | Parellada (10%) and is only produced in 1,000 copies annually. The entire production process is manual, including stirring the bottle and even the 'disgorging' takes place without freezing the neck of the bottle, which is said to give each bottle of Montargull a unique and irrevocable personality. Aging on cork adds complexity and a light touch of tannins, wood and vanilla. Fine and fully integrated bubbles.
