Recaredo Terrers Brut Nature Reserva Cava DO

Cava DO, Spain

Recaredo's entry-level Brut Nature — which still means 5 years minimum on lees and zero dosage. The classic three-variety Cava blend vinified with the same rigor as the prestige wines. Fresh apple, citrus peel, toasted almonds, and a clean mineral finish. An outstanding value in the global sparkling wine landscape.

Pairing intelligence

• casual: The wine's crisp acidity and toasted almond note cuts through the fried potato's richness; a playful Catalan pairing that works impeccably.
• main: The wine's citrus-mineral freshness and no-dosage dryness cuts through oily sardine; chimichurri's herbaceous acidity harmonises with the Cava's crispness.
