A tour through the excellence of Cava with Ferran Centelles
This eagerly awaited online tasting of Cavas de Guarda Superior Gran Reserva and Paraje Calificado was accompanied and guided by the highly knowledgeable and renowned sommelier Ferran Centelles, member of the El Bulli Foundation team and correspondent in Spain for JancisRobinson.com.
In this high-level tasting, some 30 professionals enjoyed the second edition of the Tour of Cava Excellence, discovering authentic delights that came as a happy surprise to the 30 participating sommeliers.
New high-quality proposals lend themselves to being paired with very special dishes, as Ferran Centelles pointed out:
"Cava’s freshness and aromatic complexity manages to connect with all kinds of gastronomies. Cava is associated with celebrations of unique moments, but it is also capable of giving us new flavours."
A selection that can accompany any gastronomic experience perfectly, from the first bite to the last:
"It is not about pairing one single dish, but a complete menu: an experience from start to finish."
On this second occasion, the following Cavas were enjoyed:
Bolet (Cartoixà Brut Nature Gran Reserva), Canals Nadal (Canals Nadal Gran Reserva Brut Nature), Grimau (Grimau Gran Reserva), Heretat Guilera (Guilera Agosarat 2006), Maria Casanovas (Maria Casanovas Gran Reserva Brut Nature), Mastinell (Mastinell Carpe Diem), Montesquius (Rosé Doré Brut Nature Gran Reserva 2015), Muscàndia (Muscàndia Gran Reserva), Pere Ventura (Pere Ventura Gran Vintage 2014 Paraje Calificado Can Bas), Vilarnau (Gran Reserva Vintage 2014), Vins Família Ferrer (Can Sala 2008).
