The 2008 Reserva de la Propietat is a sparkling sold with the Cava back label whose blend is 70% Xarello, 20% Macabeo and 10% Parellada from old vineyards planted in calcareous soils, which aged in bottle for at least 48 months. It has a bright, deep-yellow color and a complex nose of baked apple pie, yeasts, bread dough, camphor, smoke and chalk, a lively palate with sharp acidity, pungent flavors and a creamy texture, with abundant, small bubbles. This was a big, unexpected surprise, as I looked for the wines for tasting after drinking some in a restaurant. Drink now-2017.
Oriol Rosell is a small family winery created in 1984 around their 80 hectares of vineyards. They produce both Cava and still Penedes wines. 350,000 bottles are produced annually. As you can see in their still wines, they are quite committed to the white Xarello grape, which is also the main player in the blend of their Cava.
