Really enjoyed this cava - the bubbles and acidity were nice and the flavor had a very faint mineral-smokiness especially prevalent after enjoying a bowl of fresh steamed mussels. Would purchase again and have in stock

Has the Xarello smokey thing but in a nice way. 8 g / L dosage, roughly. Again with smoke-iness on the palate but with a sense of quality - i.e. like these are what the indigenous grapes should make it taste like.

The Brut Reserva actually. Reserva is longer aging - 24 months on it. This heads the smokiness in a bit more of a rubber direction to me. But fuller and rounder on the palate. Softer, more mellow, and creamier.

The Brut Nature on this one. Less of the smoke-y thing than the regular Brut. On the nose. Super interesting on the palate with a bit of earthiness but not so heavy to it. Darn interesting Cava for all of that. Oddly enough, I think if I was to do it, the Brut Nature.

Decent cava for the price.
Green apple and a bit of toasty brioche leading to a mildly licorice-like finish.
Was even good 3 days later when it had gone flat.
