Our review: Yellow gold in color, this lightly sparkling wine has aromas of apple and spice. Very toasty on the palate, the apple flavor seems "off" a bit, tasting almost like unripe fruit. The moderately long finish continues the toast notes.
Our rating: As much as we enjoy cavas, we didn't particularly like this one. We started the bottle as a late afternoon aperitif, but ended up mixing it with orange juice and serving as a mimosa the following morning. We rate it Below Average to Inferior. (Note: the bottle depicted is slightly different from the one we reviewed.)
No taste profile from the winemaker found.
