This blend of Macabeo 60%, Xarel-lo 25%, Parellada 15 % is an appealing mix of complexity with mouthwatering minerality. It has a yellow-gold core, with a gently invigorating mousse and ripe aromas of green apple, pear, salted lemon, raw pastry dough, chopped nuts, anise, and wet stones. There is lots of purity of fruit and a pleasing palate-coating texture, and it thrills with freshness. This could easily be mistaken for high-end Champagne.
