Ya Cuvee 23 Cava Brut Reserva 2016

Fresh, dry and clean with lemon citrus, white flower, mineral, anise and a hint of croissant in the nose and on the palate, this is simply delicioso and a truly elegant sparkler.

Cava pairs particularly well with sautéed shrimp, fried calamari, fried artichoke hearts in lemon, cold asparagus salad, sheep's milk cheeses such as Manchego and Serrano Ham, and/or with a main course of fresh white fishes like Cod with yellow Spanish rice and vegetables. 

The dusty vanilla palate has a foamy lead and not much backing along with flavors of dusty citrus and nectarine. On the finish, it's mildly citrusy, briny and flat in feel.
