Colour
Intense amber hue with warm golden tints. The steady string of beads forms a magnificent crown.
Aroma
The careful blend of the two grape varieties and barrel fermentation for the Chardonnay result in a rich, full-bodied cava, with layers of intense aromas of toast, spices and ripe fruit, creating unique sensations illustrating the cava's sophistication.
Flavour
Creamy and structured, with smoky notes. The aftertaste is well defined, complex, rich, harmonious and full.
Food Pairing
It has been created to accompany haute cuisine. It is wonderful with creative cooking or teamed with fish and meat with complex flavors. It will pair very nicely with a caramelized mille feuille of fois gras and can accompany smoked eel with scallions and country apples. It is perfect with skate au beurre noir or Challans duck with chards and watercress.

"An attractive nose of brioche, pie crust and cream pastries with subtle lemon zest. Fresh and tangy on the palate, with small, crisp beads extending to a dry, flavorful finish. Quite long. 60% xarel-lo and 40% chardonnay. This was disgorged in November 2023. Drinkable now, but can hold."
Falstaff, Mar/2025

"Ripe pome fruit and white flowers on the nose, with some citrus fruit, roasted nuts and yeast pastries. Fine mousse on the palate, balanced, with crisp acidity, lots of minerality and balsamic notes on the long finish."

"A blend of xarel·lo (60%) and chardonnay (40%), a significant portion of the latter is fermented in oak, hence the name of the wine. And, yes, there is a hint of oak spice lingering in the background, but it's far from oaky. It's more about the gold-hued fruit, ripe, rounded, and developing, with a combination of honeyed white peach, dried lemon peel, and russet apple. There's also a savoury undercurrent of hay and mushroom, along with a moderate toastiness from 36 months on its lees, that gives this real depth and complexity. Perceptibly bone-dry (4.5 g/L dosage), the palate shows a fine mousse and chalky texture, with very good length. This is serious value at this price and well worth seeking out. The fruit comes from estate vineyards in the Upper Penedès and Central Penedès, with the xarel·lo planted at an average elevation of 340m and the chardonnay higher at 700m." - Geoffrey Moss MW

SILVER "Toasty nose of almonds, brioche, toast and touches of chamomile and golden apple on the nose. Nicely structured, pleasant finish."

"This bottle literally fell in my lap, and I am so glad it did. A blend of xarello and chardonnay and aged in barrique, citrus and honey show on the nose with abundant barrel notes and some yeastiness throughout. Full flavoured, complex, and laden with breadcrust and mineral characters offsetting some of the fuller acids and tartness. A pleasure to drink and a wine that hits well above its price." - Tom Firth

Bright straw colour. Aromas of fine lees, aromatic herbs and expressive florals. Powerful and tasty palate with good acdity and fine bubbles.

"Creamy brioche, smoked lemons and pine nuts to the nose with a fine twist of stones that extends to an intense and nervy palate. Medium-bodied and tangy on the palate with saline flavors, creamy beads and a lengthy finish. An outstanding Cava that makes you want to enjoy more than one glass. Drink now or hold."
Daenna Van Mulligen, winescores.ca, Nov/2023

"The 2018 Gran Reserva Pere Ventura brut is a blend of 60% Xarel-lo and 40% Chardonnay grown on estate sites in the upper and central Penedes, in the heart of Catalonia. Part of the Chardonnay was fermented in oak and barrel aged with lees stirring for five months, lending it such toastiness. It shows some age, and has notable yeasty/grilled brioche aromas woven with toasted nuts and spices, applesauce and grilled lemons. Bone dry and complex, it has very ripe yellow fruit flavours alongside melon rind and orange slices and charred honey. The finish is zesty the mouse is creamy."

"This 2017 Tresor Cuvée Barrique is a mix of xarel-lo and chardonnay, with a minimum of 36 months in bottle on its lees. The nose is mature, and the palate has several layers, starting with a citrus, nutty nose with just the right amount of oxidation. The palate has a rich layer supported by a large portion of the chardonnay that was aged in oak with more nutty, peachy, citrus, and perfect acidity. We paired it with an assortment of sushi, which was an ideal match." - Anthony Gismondi
