    Dark cherry pink. Rich cherries, herbal, spice aromas, slightly atypical for Spanish sparkling - with so much intense red fruit, but still has some of the typical pithy red apple herbal waxiness. Cherry fruit, austere, more of a red wine with lacy soft structure, cherries, and a subtle hint of tannins. Very much an elegant clairet which benefits from decanting when the fruit becomes more opulent, rich and spiced on the nose and beautifully rich and silky on the palate. Despite being brut nature it's still incredibly appealing and soft showing sparkling Penedès typicity.
