Reserva de la Familia is as bright and golden as a Mediterranean sunset. The wine is characterized by its tiny, tireless bubbles. It exudes aromas of ripe white fruit such as apple and Ercolina pears, accompanied by citric notes and hints of toasted bread. The wine is noble and ample on the palate with a pleasant freshness, with bubbles that are a genuine delight. The wine lingers on the palate with a perfect ripe fruit finish.
Perfect with acorn-fed Iberian hams, it is also an excellent counterpoint to a vichyssoise with toasted almonds, suckling pig with apple purée or a Camembert tart with walnuts.
Our most well-known cava is a Brut Nature made with free-run juice from grapes grown on our Espiells (Can Rius), La Cuscona and Mediona estates. It has a typically pale golden colour, with a rich, elegant nose that begins with ripe white fruit and moves towards the notes that come from ageing: baked goods, toasted bread, spices… On the palate it is extremely seductive, with a fresh, pleasant texture and long finish that is once again reminiscent of white fruit.

An appealing and classically Cava nose is mocha and thyme-led. Lovely honeyed Xarel.lo fruit, beautifully fine mousse: a most elegant Cava. Nice backbone and comes across as quite dry with a savoury, lipsmacking finish that lingers. Well made and refreshing, very youthful and should age well.

Fine yeast with a steely and stony note to the fresh lemon zest and white nuts. Bone-dry, tangy and nicely saline on the palate with a smooth, dissolved mousse and an intense, mouthwatering finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

With lively effervescence and a bouquet of candied lemon peel, pineapple and jasmine, this wine has honeydew, passionflower and just-baked bread flavors. Notes of slivered almond and lemon zest vie for attention on the pleasing finish.

#43 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2023 This is distinctive for its abundantly fragrant notes of medicinal herbs and spices, on the nose and then carried on the palate by the lively, delicate mousse. Well-knit, with vivid acidity framing flavors of macerated cherry and apricot with notes of salted almond. Macabeo, Xarel-lo and Parellada.
