---|---|
Nose | Elegant and complex, this blend of Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada smells of citrus and garrigue, alongside with some creamy aromas, notions of orange rind and white flowers and delicate nuances of withered leaves and dry fruit. |
Palate | Delicate and well-crafted, this Corpinnat sparkling wine from Cavas Llopart has a wonderfully refined texture, with palate-melting, tiny bubbles. Rich and complex, with fresh touches of lime and lemon, some creamy notions of pastry and hints of orange blossom, white flowers, raw almonds and and aromatic herbs. Great acidity and long, lively finish. |
