If you like bubbles, but prefer them pink, then you'll love the Rosé counterpart to one of K&L's favorite sparkler - the Gran Sarao. Fresh and easy to drink with a fine bead, it's also wonderfully easy on your wallet, making it an ideal wine to load up on by the case for the next time you've got something to celebrate, or if you want to make every day a special occasion. According to Robert Parker: The N.V. Rose reveals aromas of cherry blossoms and strawberry. Tasty, crisp, and lively, it is the perfect match for smoked salmon or jamon Iberico. (04/10)
Intense and very fresh aromas with a subtle perfume of floral notes as rose petals and lilies, it also has refreshing citric notes.
It's back! One of our most successful Cavas ever has finally made its return to K&L. Made with the traditional varietals of Xarel-lo, Parellada, Macabeo and a touch of Chardonnay, this partyfresh bubbly spends 12-15 months on its own yeast before disgorgement. Nicely delineated notes of fresh bread dough, apricot, Granny Smith apples and wet stone are ever-apparent here. And yes, the bubbles are tiny. Grab a case of this to hide around the house in the event of spontaneous partying. (Bryan Brick, K&L Wine Merchants) According to Robert Parker: Gran Sarao’s N.V. Brut contains 10% Chardonnay in addition to the standard Cava varieties. It has an excellent nose of biscuit, apple, and floral notes leading to a dry, fruity mid-palate. This well-balanced bubbly has a lengthy, refreshing finish.
Bright gold. Subtle aromas of apple, pear and melon, with a gentle mineral undertone. Juicy, nicely concentrated orchard fruit and honeydew flavors are brightened by a hint of lemon pith. Finishes on a soft pear note, with good focus and length. The dosage here was just three grams per liter, much lower than that of most big-house Champagnes. It's a superb value, as usual.
