Can XA Brut Rosado Cava, Penedes, Catalonia, Spain
Grapes: Pinot Noir, bottle fermented, 8g/L residual sugar (just off-dry)
An agreeable cherry colour with nuances of bright salmon; it has a fine bright stream of bubbles forming a true corona. The nose is rich with aromas of wild fruits and redcurrant.
