Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Penedès, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainBack in the 19th Century, Rioja's CVNE produced consistent quantities of sparkling wine to fill the void for Champagne, ravaged by phylloxera. Although the company evolved into being still wine focused, they continued with Cune Cava Brut representing a return to the future. This xarel·lo, macabeo and parellada blend is flush with doughy lees and red apple, and laced with tight salty lashes of lemon, holding in the sides of this generous Cava through the snappy, saline washed finish.Tasted: 03 January 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Although the company evolved into being still wine focused, they continued with Cune Cava Brut represents a return to the future. This xarel·lo, macabeo and parellada blend floats along a dryish, biscuity palate, with dried apple, almond, and lemon pith holding this taut and bright. Lovely balance throughout, and excellent value for quality.Tasted: 01 November 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Penedès, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainImpressive cava that is clean, elegant, fresh and satisfying to sip. Delicate white flowers start the aroma parade, joined by lemon, peach, and brioche. There's plenty of yeasty complexity and absolutely none of the rubbery whiffs that mar some cavas. Brightly focused flavours of apple, stone fruit and pastry bounce on a pillowy mousse. Most impressive is a dusty, saline, limestone finish that shows a clear stamp of quality terroir. Priced in the premium cava range, but it assuredly belongs there. Pair with grilled peaches wrapped in Iberico ham.Tasted: 23 May 2019Tasted by: Prices:

Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, Penedès, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainBack in the 19th Century, Rioja's CVNE produced consistent quantities of sparkling wine to fill the void for the Champagne region, ravaged by phylloxera. Although the company evolved into being a still wine specialist, Cune Cava Brut represents a return to the future. The process is traditional méthode with long-term bottle ageing and riddling by gyropalette. You can expect a delightful fizz with the same balance and acidity that is the hallmark of Cune. It has an appealing fresh fruit nose with a yeasty/almond undertone. The palate is creamy and bright with nutty, green apple fruit and a mostly dry finish: a perfect patio, party starter you can serve with what else - pinchos and tapas. The blend of grapes is xarel·lo, macabeo and parellada.Tasted: 27 March 2019Tasted by: Prices:
