Freixenet Description
Cordon Negro Brut is crisp, clean, and well balanced. It is medium-bodied with a palate of apple, pear and bright citrus flavors with a moderately long finish and a crisp touch of ginger. This wine is extremely versatile and pairs well with most food.
The grape varieties used in the creation of the base wine for this Cava are Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada.
A light, very modern cava, much appreciated for its refreshing style, created from a special blend of the three traditional, indigenous Penedes white varieties.
Pale yellow, with bright hints of green. A fine, persistent and abundant sparkle lifting to a good crown.
Fine, delicate aromas, combining tones of green apple and pear, with light resonances of Mediterranean fruits – peach, melon and pineapple, over a base of citrus, all beautifully balanced by light toasty aromas from bottle maturation.
The palate is refreshing, the sparkle balancing the green and citrus fruits. It is light but long and elegant.
Wine Enthusiast: 87 Points
Clean and toasty, with mineral and the slightest hint of mushroom. Full and ripe in the mouth, with toasty apple flavors. Limited in depth and complexity, but full of lemon-lime.
