Cava Especial 90 RP


It is a common misconception that all Cava comes from Catalonia. Whilst the majority does, it can be made anywhere in Spain as long as it conforms to the strict production methods laid down.

Dominio de la Vega is based in the hills inland from Valencia and has built up an impressive reputation for its Cavas in a relatively short period of time, archived some of the highest ratings ever given to Cava by Robert Parker and winning numerous awards in Spain.

The Cavas here are all rich and toasty with extensive lees ageing in bottle and are something special.

The Brut Reserva Especial are made from hand harvested Macabeo and Chardonnay grapes, pressed then fermented at 16C with selected yeasts and then aged 3 months in new French oak prior to second fermentation in bottle.

Aged on the lees for minimum 20 months. Finished with a dosage of only 5 g/l.

 Deep colored and rich on the nose with toasty nutty aromas. Quite full bodied yet fine and elegant, with ripe yellow plum, brioche and candied citrus leading to a long, structured finish.

You can order this wine from the 1 of July at the systembolaget number 77938 and the price is 246 kr
