• Sparkling, Cava

  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.

  Albarino Brut NV, Mar de Frades

  £2895

  The first of its kind, a sparkling Albarino.  Mar de Frades lies in the heartland of Rias Baixas. This is the truest expression of the terroir, nestled upon the Galician coast where the seawater washes up on the shore finds its way through the breeze onto the skins of Albarino grapes giving its notorious salinity.

  In the glass, this wine is lemon/golden in colour with a fine persistent bead of bubbles.  The nose is expressive and complex with white fruits, eucalyptus, almond and toast as well as that classic Albarino trait of seawater.  In the mouth, it is full, creamy and deliciously cool.  The Albarino salinity is again in full force with those white fruits and toasty notes leaving you wanting more.  Ideal as an aperitif or with starters like smoked salmon, scallops or oysters.

  The label has a thermosensitive logo so that when the wine is chilled at the right serving temperature, a blue galleon(boat) appears and disappears when it is too warm for consumption.
