Giró Ribot Brut Reserva Cava Ab Origine NV
Penedès, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), Spain“Ab Origine” means from the roots. With macabre, xarello, parellada and chardonnay vines between 20-30 years of age, this spends up to 30 months on the lees in bottle, adding to the complexity. Earthy, mushroom, nutty, savoury, with a bright palate lined with downy lees, and finishing with a tight and fine pithy lemon peel and green apple shimmer. Very characterful and serious. Good value.Tasted: 17 July 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $18.50 | 750ml | private wine shops |
