Vinos Gran Reserva

2018 Blanc de Blancs ‘Reserve’ grapes About 15% of fruit was100% Chardonnay. The wine was matured on lees for 6 years. A distinctly savoury and dry sparkling wine loaded with brioche, salted cashew, saline minerality, dried and fresh green apple, touches of cinnamon toast and some light nougat sweet savouriness. Beautiful, savoury sweet perfume in tow. Very complex and layered with vividly frisky bubbles. A serious and distinct sparkling wine with intensity at its heart. Tasting Notes by Mike Bennie Halliday
