Berceo Cava Brut brings the bright, celebratory character of Spanish Cava to the table. Made from Xarel·lo, Macabeo and Parellada grown in Penedès, this dry white sparkling wine is equally at home as a lively first glass and alongside dinner. Its fine bubbles and fresh citrus character make it easy to share when friends arrive, while its traditional-method texture gives it enough substance for food. 🥂🇪🇸
The wine belongs to the D.O. Cava appellation. After the base wines are blended, the second fermentation takes place in the bottle, followed by aging, disgorgement and the addition of an expedition liqueur. The producer does not specify a vintage or an exact number of months on lees for this bottle, so the pleasure here is best described by the wine itself: clean, bright and balanced. The bottle in our selection carries the Comtats de Barcelona and Guarda designation.
Pour Berceo Cava Brut and look for a clear lemon-yellow hue and a steady stream of persistent bubbles. Lemon and grapefruit lead the aroma, followed by gentle hints of pastry, creamy notes and honey. On the palate it feels fresh and fruit-forward, with balanced acidity and a long, pleasant finish. Its Brut style keeps the profile dry without hiding the fruit. 🍋🍯
Chill the bottle to around 6–8°C and serve in a sparkling-wine or white-wine glass. Start with an aperitif and salty snacks, or take it through a meal with seafood, grilled fish and risotto. The producer also recommends it with white and red meats. For a relaxed celebration, Berceo Cava Brut is a versatile bottle that can move from the first toast to the main course without missing a beat. A 750 ml bottle at 11.5% ABV offers a classic Cava experience with Spanish character and a refreshingly dry finish.
