Vilarnau Barcelona Reserva Cava is a traditional method sparkler produced with organically grown Viura, Xarel-lo and Parellada grapes and the cuvée was fermented with native yeasts. Fragrant with fresh yellow apple, biscuit with exotic florals on the nose and layered on the palate on a fine mousse, it is a stylish and delish Cava to enjoy chilled up with tapas, or simply on its own. Awarded Double Gold at the 2022 Sakura Japan Women's Wine Awards.

Cava food pairings: tapas, grilled chicken dishes, tempura vegetables, sushi.

Reviews and Ratings

Philippe Perreault - Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

It's a blend of Viura, Xarel-lo and Parellada.

The color is clear yellow.
Aromas of brioche, apple and mineral.
It's very long, nerve and medium-bodied on the palate.

Pair it with seafood.
Enjoyable now.
Serve it at 5-6 degrees.
From the Penedès wine region, Vilarnau Brut Reserva is a great value under $20. The still wine blend for this cava is 50% Macabeo, 35% Parellada and 15% Xarello. - Community Wine Reviews
