WINE DESCRIPTION
Hoya de Cadenas Cava Brut stands as a sparkling jewel from Spain's renowned Utiel-Requena region, a territory with deep viticultural roots. Hoya de Cadenas, with its centuries-old winemaking legacy, harnesses the region's optimal climate and chalky soils to craft Cava of noteworthy distinction. Employing the traditional método tradicional (akin to the Champagne method), this Cava Brut is composed of native grape varieties that undergo secondary fermentation in the bottle. The meticulous process, combined with the estate's dedication to excellence, results in a Cava that is both a celebration of tradition and a testament to quality.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Hoya de Cadenas Cava Brut gleams in the glass with a pale golden hue, its fine bubbles tracing a persistent bead.The bouquet offers a fragrant dance of green apple, pear, and hints of toasted almond, underscored by a delicate yeastiness. On the palate, the wine is vivacious and elegant, presenting flavors of crisp citrus, fresh brioche, and a touch of honeycomb. Its balanced acidity and refined effervescence lead to a clean, zesty finish, making it an ideal aperitif or companion to light dishes. A delightful embrace of Spain's sparkling heritage.
