Profile
Smell
Aromas of rose petals and apple blossoms complement ripe notes of field strawberry, raspberry, and white cherry. The bubbles are fine and elegant, and the distinctive brioche note so typical of this style of wine lingers faintly in the background.
Taste
The creamy texture of the bubbles delivers flavours of ripe berries, citrus blossom, and sweet herbs like sage and rosemary. There's a distinctive minerality and plenty of refreshing acidity on the long finish, along with a hint of cooling mint.
Pairing
There isn't much we could think of that wouldn't pair well with this wine, but try the classic (and delicious) interplay of sparkling wine with salty fried foods, and match with calamari, fish and chips or fried chicken.
Aromas and Flavours
Raspberry
Tangy or sweet, juicy or tart: more sophisticated than a strawberry, but just as lush.
Strawberry
A sweet, almost caramel-like aroma reminiscent of your favourite juicy, red berry.
Lemon / Lime
Common in cool climate white wines, this aroma can range from fresh citrus to lemon zest.
Floral
You just received a bouquet from a secret admirer and the smell is intoxicating.
Stone
Remember playing with pebbles as a child and giving them a lick out of curiosity?

Description
If you're new to Cava, we apologize in advance: this bottle is going to spoil you! Northern Spain's answer to Champagne, Cava is traditional-method sparkling wine (ie. refermented in each bottle, rather than in pressurized tanks like Prosecco) made with native Spanish grape varieties. Raventós i Blanc are one of the true masters of the style, tracing their history back to 1497 - the current owner, Pepe Raventós, represents the 21st generation of the founding family! Their vintage-dated De Nit rosé is a benchmark Cava. It's made from the traditional Cava grape varieties of Xarel-lo, Parellada, and Macabeo, with just a touch of Monastrell for colour. Aged for 18 months on the lees, the finished wine has all the elegance and complexity of rosé Champagne, while retaining a distinctly Spanish flair. Enjoy this delicious example of rosé Cava at a well-chilled 6℃ over the next 5 years.
