  NV Cava Brut Seleccion, +&+, Spain

  £1495

  This Cava is made by the prestigious, Bodega Pinord in the Penedès region of North-East Spain which is between Barcelona and Tarragona in Catalonia.

  Their award-winning Cava ‘+&+’ stands for ‘More and More’, which represents the unparalleled drinkability of this crisp and refreshing sparkling wine.

  It is made from 3 native grape varieties, Xarel-lo, Macabeo and Parellada. Xarello, sometimes hyphenated as Xarel-lo, is a light-skinned native Catalan grape, noted for bringing high acidity to the blend, an essential characteristic in sparkling wine, along with refreshing citrusy flavours. Macabeo is a synonym for Viura and produces fresh, floral and aromatic wines, while Parellada flourishes in higher altitude sites where it retains acidity and brings complementary notes of blossom and green apple.
