Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, slightly spicy, very effervescence, ripe melon flavours with a lingering, fairly crisp finish. Quite ready-to-drink. This 11.5% alcohol blend of 40% Xarel-lo, 25% Macabeo, 20% Chardonnay and 15% Parellada has 6 g/L residual sugar with lot number L15313 on the middle part of the glass bottle. |

| TASTING NOTE: Even better than the Kila Cava is the 2010 Marques de Gelida Brut Gran Reserva, a blend of 40% Xarel-lo, 25% Macabeo, 20% Chardonnay and 15% Parellada. Aged a minimum of four years in bottle before being released, this is one of the winery's smaller cuvées at 3,000 cases. Lots of complex brioche, citrus blossom and apple butter notes are followed by a creamy, medium-bodied, reasonably dry sparkling white wine to drink over the next year.
