Dusty and smooth upfront, this has attractive orange, nectarine and cream aromas. It feels layered and balanced, with cantaloupe, orange and milk chocolate flavors vying for attention. Mild but composed on the finish, this is made entirely from Trepat.

There aren’t many rosé Cavas that stand out, but this is one of the few. It’s bready and yeasty on the bouquet, with caramel and baked fruit aromas. It feels slightly creamy and complex, with peach, nectarine and dry spice flavors. Long, elegant and mildly peppered on the finish. Made from the Trepat grape.

Like the barrica (barrel) in its name implies, this is a toasty wine, with vanilla, yeast and elegant white-fruit aromas. Full bodied, it has citrus and apple notes, with mild oxidation in front of the toasty finish. A classy Cava to drink now.

This has a scent of baked apple, and in the mouth, it seems just as much a still white wine as a Cava, with a soft bead that indicates that it’s starting to lose steam. Flavors of melon, citrus and pineapple finish with vanilla and chunky weight.

This leans a little green and soda-like on the nose, but it picks up clarity and speed on the palate, which carries a tangy, citric snap. It tastes of citrus and lees, and the finish is medium in length and healthy.

This is a little wayward and funky on the nose, with a lightly pickled aroma. It’s a forward Cava with a yeasty, creamy feel. Its acidity and proper bubbles set up flavors of pastry, powdered sugar and sweet apple. The finish is quick, ending with a white-pepper flavor.
