Staff Pick Notes

These vineyards are situated in the middle of Serralada de Marina Natural Park, close to Barcelona and in the vicinity of the beautiful Mediterranean sea. The familia Pujol Busquets spent their life making Cava, trying to keep traditions alive while exploring new trends. The daughters, Mireia and Georgina helped a lot in this process. This Grand Reserva is aged on lees for 15 months. Mataro grapes, better known as Monastrell, are used. Very low intervention is practiced with no added sulfites. This wine is crisp with strawberry, citrus and rose notes, dry with a bright acidity and fine bubbles. It's a very enjoyable wine. I paired this Cava with some cold cuts, coppa and bresaola, and the combination was intriguing. Try yourself!
