Wine Review: The Roger Goulart “Gran Reserva” Cava has a sweet brioche nose with hints of kumquats. The mouthfeel is wide showing tons of bread and custard flavors. The fresh apples, minerality, caramel, and anise come through on the mouth. The acidity is still so fresh considering that it is from 2011. One of the better sparkling wines I’ve tried outside of Champagne. It would pair really well with fish and chips. - Nicolay.

Winemaker Notes: Pale yellow with golden highlights. Aroma with good intensity, ripe white fruit such us apple and peach. Aniseed notes, fennel. Reminiscences of patisserie, yeast and dry flowers notes. On the palate, wide on entry, full and creamy on the palate. Thick and velvet. The dry white flowers and fruit aromas come back on the palate. Its’ good acidity provides a refreshing and lasting finish.
