Cava

In the Catalan hills, limestone-rich soils and the Mediterranean shape sparkling wines of great seriousness and mineral tension. The focus on autochthonous grape varieties such as Xarello and Macabeu lends the wines their backbone, while producers such as Recaredo and Alta Alella emphasise the fine perlage and deep terroir structure of this region through extremely long lees ageing and artisanal precision.
