Vilarnau ‘Gaudi’ Organic Cava Brut Reserva, Penedès

This eye-catching bottle is inspired by Barcelona’s vibrant mosaic art, making it the ultimate centrepiece on any table. The Cava inside is just as impressive. It’s made by Vilarnau – one of the first wineries to be awarded the Wineries for Climate Protection certification. Energy comes from their biomass boiler and vineyards are irrigated from the rainwater filled lake that surrounds the winery – every decision made is with the aim of conserving their environment. All this care and attention results in happier vines, which means even more delicious wine. Their winemaker, Eva Plazas, is every bit as bubbly as the fizz she produces. She can be found cruising through the vineyards on her electric bike or showing guests the art of drinking from a traditional Spanish porron on the winery’s sunny terraces. Aged for 18 months ahead of release, this Brut Reserva makes the perfect apéritif. Expect bright notes of crisp apple, ripe pear and brioche.

This wine won a gold medal for the Drinks Business Global Organic and Vegan Masters 2022
