Torelló, Special Edition Brut Reserva, Cava, Penedès, 2012

Vivacious and bright, this wine has plenty of energy in its light-bodied core. The wine finishes with real drive, likely due to the 46% Xarel-lo in the blend, with nearly one-third Macabeo bringing elegance on the mid-palate as well as apple fruit. Appetising, with attractive grip on the finish.
