Llopart, Reserva Rosé Brut Cava, Catalonia, Spain

Tasting Note: The kind of excellent, rosé sparkling wine that proves there’s more to cava than the white cava you’re used to drinking.

Medium-intensity salmon in color, this wine has an aromatic nose of strawberry puree, red cherry, cranberry and blossom.

On the palate the dry, medium-bodied rosé cava delivers bright, red-fruit flavors suggested on the nose with vibrant, medium-plus acidity.

There is midpalate complexity and a lemon-citrus-infused cherry, medium-plus finish.

A rosé cava to repeat.
