  Popped and poured. Yeasty sawdust aroma. Pleasant flavor of baked apple. Lemony finish.
  
  Good. Seems simple at first, but there's a little more going on underneath than is immediately apparent. Nicely structured, firm backbone, appealing flavors. Great value for the price.

  Dosage 8 g/l.
  
  Very light pale lime green color. Aromatic nose with some slightly smoky and rubbery hints that seem to be quite typical of Cava, along with tropical aromas of peach and pineapple, lemon marmalade, some floral tones, a little bit of honey, a hint of sweet apple and a touch of woolly lanolin. Very distinctive and interesting. The wine is dry, quite intense and medium-bodied on the palate with flavors that repeat the elements of the nose, along with light notes of toasty autolysis, some stony minerality, a little bit of herbal bitterness and a hint of chopped nuts. The mousse feels very small and fine, but also very persistent. Nice, lively and quite high acidity. Overall this feels like your basic Cava that you can buy here for 10€, but only in a remarkably more complex, intense and characterful take on the style. The finish is quite long, crisp and acid-driven with intense flavors of stony minerality, herbal bitterness, some yeasty French bread, a little bit of rubbery character, a hint of lemon curd and a touch of key lime.
  
  A very nice, interesting and characterful Cava - even as the entry-level bubbly of the house this wine puts a great majority of the Cavas we have here to shame. Lovely on its own and shows great structure in regards to pairing it with food. A bit expensive here at 18,99€, but still manages to deliver for the price.
