PARÉS BALTÀ

Cava Blanca Cusiné 2012

- 17 points -

Biodynamically farmed. Organic wine. 80% Xarello, 11% Chardonnay, 9% Pinot Noir from the Les Torres vineyard at 700 m in the Penedès mountains. Traditional method. 72 months on lees. No dosage. Disgorged December 2019.
Deep gold. Rich, toasty aroma. Golden fruit – yellow plum, orange zest and apricot. Deep and inviting. Toasty and savoury on the palate, the toastiness giving a lightly charred note on the finish. Spiced and golden on the palate. A wonderfully rich, complex and bone-dry, fresh cava. Powerful, almost meaty in its density (not in its flavour). A wine-drinker's cava. (JH)
