Such a striking bottle, based on an 11th century design. The pewter embossing and cradle means the bottle won’t be thrown to the recycling bin once the contents have been enjoyed.

Methode traditionelle. Made from indigenous Spanish grapes: 67% Macabeo and 33% Parellada. Minimum 30 months aging on lees. Baked wheat biscuit, shaved ginger and soft leesy note along with daylight sunbursts of light lemon blossom. Embracing textural grip and with an assertive gunsmoke/flint echo. Complex, elegant and precise. Delicious point of difference.
