Dominio de la Vega, Brut Reserva Especial, Cava, 2014

A rather deeper golden hue than many Cavas due to part-fermentation in French oak barrels, bringing an attractive hint of nutty oak flavours and the rounding effects of a touch of oxidative ageing. Vinous, round and full bodied, with 30% Chardonnay adding stone fruit notes to the Macabeo.
