This is a Cava Reserva that's the definition of elegance and structure, all thanks to this awesome family-run estate.

The magic starts with grapes collected from 35 hectares of vines hanging out on the Can Macià estate. It's located near Odena, right by the Anoia river basin. These vines are living it up in clay-limestone soils, and the climate here is a blend of Mediterranean and Continental vibes, with not too much rain. This combo creates grapes that are like little treasures – low yields, but bursting with high acidity. The slow and steady ripening process is like nature's secret to crafting fantastic Cava base wines. And to make sure they're at their best, these grapes are picked at night when it's all cool and cozy.

The Bohigas Cava Brut Reserva is made using the traditional method, where there's a second fermentation right in the bottle. They let the wine hang out on lees for a minimum of 18 months before it's ready to shine (just a hint of sweetness added at the end, about 6g/l).

Imagine taking a whiff and getting a burst of fresh apples and pears, along with a dash of citrus and white flowers. But wait, there's more – a hint of spice like cinnamon and a touch of biscuit due to the aging process. When it touches your lips, you'll feel that awesome structure and zingy acidity, plus the goodness of ripe stone fruit. And let's not forget that creamy mousse – it's like a cozy blanket for your taste buds. The finish is a smooth and satisfying journey that lingers gently.

When it comes to pairing, this sparkling wonder is like a culinary chameleon. It's fantastic with grilled white fish, chicken dishes, and even a classic paella. So whether you're feasting on seafood or having a cozy dinner with friends, this Cava is ready to make your taste buds dance.
