Juvé y Camps, La Capella Paraje Calificado Brut Nature, Cava 2011

The potential of Xarel·lo to produce world class sparkling wines is on show here. The silky mousse carries the rich flavours of honey, candied lemon, ripe pear, yellow apple and guava. The wide mid-palate is fleshed out by frangipane, buttered toast and apple strudel. Herbal nuances of wild fennel and oregano, spiced with white pepper.
