Whenever someone tells me Cava can’t compete with Champagne, this is the bottle I open. It’s one of the most elegant Spanish sparklers we sell, and it comes from much closer to home than most people expect: the high plateau of Requena, just inland from us in Valencia.
Hispano+Suizas farm their vineyards organically at around 700 metres, where hot days and cool nights keep the grapes fresh and the acidity bright. It’s made entirely from Pinot Noir, picked by hand, and the base wine is fermented in new French oak barrels, which is unusual for Cava and gives it real depth. After that it rests on its lees in bottle for at least 22 months before being disgorged by hand. As a Brut Nature it has no added sugar, so you taste the fruit exactly as it is.
In the glass it’s a pale, rose-gold pink with a fine, steady bead. The nose brings strawberry and raspberry, a few toasted nuts, a touch of vanilla and something like fresh pastry. The palate is creamy yet crisp, with ripe cherry skin, gentle spice and a long, clean finish.
Lovely as an aperitif, but I really enjoy it with seared tuna, salmon tartare or a good seafood paella. It’s a natural with jamón too.
