A youthful clean, dark garnet-cherry colour. Complex aromas of red berry fruit (strawberry and blackberry), good fruit expression, lively and complete.

Bohigas (Spain) Cava Brut Reserva

90 Points - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
91 John Gilman - View from the Cellar
89 Points - James Suckling

This is serious fizz!

50% Xarel·lo - 30% Macabeo - 20% Parellada
Bohigas Reserva cavas are aged in the cellar for at least 15 months, most more. The bottles are then clarified and disgorged. 

Winemakers note
"Pale yellow colour. Constant and small bubble. Foam of great persistence. Very fruity aromas of white fruit (acid apple and pear) on shades of peel of citrics and white flowers. In the background, some spicy notes owed to ageing (cinnamon) and cookies. It is a well-structured "cava" in the mouth. Well picked up over its acidity that tenses it overall from beginning to end. The bubble lends a creamy feeling, and it gives volume and softness to the structure that returns acidity and widens the aromas of white fruits and spices that are repeated in the mouth. Its balanced end harmonizes its acidity, and leaves a memory of freshness and volume owing to its light sugar content."

Olcaviana (Spain) 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon

AMAZING VALUE 100% Organic wine from our friends at Sierra Norte 

Once the grapes have arrive at the cellars, they are cooled to delay the fermentation, while frequent pump-overs are carried out to achieve a better extraction of colour, aroma precursors and only the soft tannins. The alcoholic fermentation is then done at a controlled temperature of 22-24°C with gentle pumping over. The marc is pressed in a pneumatic press, and then the malolactic fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks.

A dark, cherry-red colour with purple glints. Intense and lingering fruit character showing strawberries and redcurrants. Fresh on the palate with lively tannins and a lingering sensation of spice.
