Description
Juve & Camps Gran Reserva Cava 2018 is a stellar vintage bottling of their flagship Reserva de la Familia cuvee - 100% estate harvested organic grapes (Xarel-lo, Macabeo, Parellada) from Espiells, Mediona and La Cuscona, emblematic of Penedes terroir. Whole-cluster pressing, varietal fermentation, malolactic conversion, then extended ageing - 36+ months sur lie in their subterranean cellars - bottle-fermented and disgorged without dosage as a true Brut Nature Gran Reserva. With pale golden hue and persistent tiny bubbles, its aromatic profile unfolds in layers: ripe white fruit, apple, apricot, medicinal herbs, fennel, toast, citrus zest and saline nuances. Reviews praise its delicate mousse and vivid acidity supporting complex notes of macerated cherry, apricot, salted almond and thyme, making it elegantly savoury yet exuberant. Its richness and finesse pair well with seafood, shellfish, cheese, rice dishes and white meats, and it offers both immediate appeal and impressive aging potential.
