Juv & Camps Gran Reserva Brut 2017

Gran Reserva is inspired by the great Blanc de Blancs that offer crisp flavors and can withstand longer ageing. It has been produced since 1972, and it was Juv & Camps first Gran Reserva. To be qualified as a Gran Reserva, cavas must have a secondary fermentation of a minimum of 30 months. Juv & Camps Gran Reserva however, is aged for an average of 42 months, following the Juv & Camps trademark of patiently crafting wines of full expression. The grapes are certified organic and hand-harvested from the most expressive vineyard blocks on the estates; Espiells and Mediona, in the heart of the Peneds region (Barcelona, Spain). The most distinctive trait of Juv & Camps Gran Reserva is its bright aromas after so many years of ageing. Hints of white flowers and stone fruit are followedby notes of a long-aged cava: brioche, toasted flavors, spices, and honey. The tiny, abundant bubbles that rise up in streams to form a consistent crown. The Chardonnay contributes to the creamy mouthfeel and the Xarello to the elegance and long finish. Exquisitely balanced, this dry cava is expressive, intense, complex, and fresh, a harmony of endless sensations.
