With the Pyrenees mountains in the north, the Bardenas Reales desert in the south, and the Bay of Biscayne (San Sebastian) one hour away, an interesting confluence of 3 climates is created; Atlantic, Continental and Mediterranean traveling north to south. This combined with a range of soils, altitude, sunshine and rainfall all packed into an area of 120 miles north to south and 60 miles east to west, allows for this small region to produce a variety of wine styles all from many different varieties. Very few wine regions can offer this level of quality in white, rose and dessert, under one viticultural area
TOCA Cava Brut NV
Bright, pale straw. Abundant bubbles which open up and form a crown. Aromatic up-front nose with a little complexity due to age in the bottle, very fruity and clean. Good structure and well balanced. This wine has a touch of sweetness which works well with its acidity and has a long clean finish.
