Cava Cristina Gran Reserva – Organic 2019

Description

We complete this cava’s long, nine-year aging process with our most prized liqueur d’expédition (dosage), a liqueur made from barrel-fermented Xarel·lo.

Tasting notes:

Pale yellow color with greenish reflections, denoting a good evolution in bottle. Very fine, persistent bubbles that form a perfect crown. The nose stands out for its freshness and elegance. Aromas of ripe white stone fruit, such as apple, with subtle floral notes and a delicate touch of pastry. The palate is balanced, fresh and creamy. Smooth mouthfeel, given by a good integration of the bubbles, appearing pleasant toasted notes and an aniseed finish.

Varieties:

Macabeo, Parellada, Chardonnay, Xarel·lo (20%, aged in French oak barrels).

Food Pairing:

Perfect with rice dishes, red meats, seafood, grilled fish and even foie gras. Ideal to enjoy with dark chocolate desserts.

Restaurant En Rima recommendation:

Slow-roasted beef rib served with a reduced Mastinell Merlot sauce and creamy gnocchi. Tartar of scallop and lemon fish with red tiger milk, avocado, cucumber, and mango.
