Cava
Cava (the word cava means cellar in Catalan) is a Spanish sparkling wine produced in the regions of Catalonia, Aragon, Basque Country, Navarre, Valencia, La Rioja and Extremadura, although most of the production is located in Catalonia. The Cava name was granted in 1986 after a tough legal battle between French producers of Champagne and Cava producers, who until then had used the Spanish name Champán. An effervescent wine, Cava is nevertheless fruitier and sweeter than its French cousin Champagne. Cava has been produced using the traditional method since 1860, and must spend a minimum of 9 months in bottle.

The main varieties used to make Cava are Macabeu, Parellada and Xarel-lo. Bottles are left to rest horizontally in dark, still cellars at a constant temperature of 15ºC, with a minimum of 9 months in the bottle. Domain Miquel Pons offers a range of enjoyable vintages to discover.

90/100 Vinous

"Clear straw color. Energetic, with citrus fruits on a mineral background, scents of orchard fruits (peach, apricot), carried by a mineral chalky touch and a hint of ginger. Very lively on the palate, it offers lively flavors of orange zest and honeysuckle that continue and flesh out in a second phase. Gently, the delicate palate gives way to a long, "stony" finish, with incisive minerality and a return of floral notes." (Vinous - 2017)
