Juvé & Camps, Reserva de la Familia, Gran Reserva CAVA

• Vintage: 2017
• Origin: Catalonia, Spain
  

• Taste guide: Typically pale golden colour, with a rich, elegant nose that begins with ripe white fruit and moves towards the notes that come from ageing: baked goods, toasted bread, spices… On the palate it is extremely seductive, with a fresh, pleasant texture and long finish that is once again reminiscent of white fruit.
• Drinking Window: 2024 - 2027

• 75cl - 12% - Traditional Mushroom Cork Opening - Bottles individually numbered (see close up label photo)

• Food pairings: Sushi, grilled sea bass.

Juvé y Camps is a family-owned winery located in San Sadurní d’Anoia, a small town in the northeastern Penedès region. Founded in 1921 by Joan Juvé Baqués and his wife Teresa Camps Farré, the winery’s three-generation history has resulted in an international reputation for producing top-quality Cava.

“Our most well-known cava is a Brut Nature made with free-run juice from grapes grown on our Espiells (Can Rius), La Cuscona and Mediona estates”.

This exceptional fizz is crafted using only the purest organic grapes (55% Xarel·lo, 35% Macabeo and 10% Parellada) and is matured on the lees (the spent yeast that gives quality sparkling wine its nutty, yeasty and bready flavours) for around three years (this is as long as Vintage Champagne requires by law).

Another rare find here... especially at this price. £21 a bottle in Harvey Nichols, just £15.99 here.
