Product Description
Details

The well-known Freixenet winery is the producer of this Spanish sparkling wine. The name of the Cava Freixenet Cuvée DS is an hommage to Dolors Sala, one of the winery's founders.

Made from a blend of the traditional Cava varieties, namely Xarel·lo, Macabeo and Parellada, the grapes were first meticulously selected and then fermented in stainless steel tanks.

After that, the Cava Freixenet Cuvée D.S. Brut Gran Reserva 2019 was bottled and aged for 48 months.

Finally, this vegan Cava from Penedès was disgorged and added a tiny amount of shipping liquor, which had been previously aged in chestnut barrels.

One of the bottlings of the Cuvées de Prestige collection, this Cava gran reserva is only produced in exceptional vintages.

Appearance

The Cava Freixenet Cuvée D.S. Brut Gran Reserva is deep straw with some grey tinges.

Nose

Delicate aromas of toast, dry fruit and fine lees, with remembrances of pastry and ripe white fruit. This blend of Xarel·lo, Macabeo and Parellada also suggests marzipan, with a note of citrus and aromatic herbs.

Palate

Smooth and elegant, with little, palate-caressing bubbles, and an excellent acidiy. This gran reserva from Freixenet is creamy and citrusy, with ripe white fruit and notes of jasmine, balsam, fine lees and toast. Long finish with some smokey remembrances.

Our personal opinion

An outstanding value, the Cava Freixenet Cuvée D.S. Brut Gran Reserva 2019 is perfect for a whole meal, from appetizers to desserts.
