WINE DESCRIPTION

Marqués de Gelida Cava Gran Reserva Brut is a premium sparkling wine produced by the renowned winery Marqués de Gelida in the Cava appellation of Spain. The grapes are sourced from high-altitude vineyards with calcareous soils, which impart a unique minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves traditional methods of second fermentation in the bottle and extended aging on the lees for a minimum of 30 months, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with fine bubbles and a creamy texture. The wine exhibits aromas of citrus and white fruits, with hints of brioche and toasted almonds. It is a perfect choice for celebrations and special occasions, or as an aperitif.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This sparkling Spanish white is a blend of Macabeo, Xarel-lo, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes.An aromatic nose of citrus fruit, white flowers, and toasted almonds introduces a palate that is crisp and full of flavor. A lively mousse enhances the experience, which finishes with a balanced and lingering finish. Enjoy this sparkling wine as an aperitif or with fresh fish and seafood dishes.
