Freixenet Cordon Negro Extra Dry Cava

"With delicate, golden straw color and lively effervescence, our Prosecco opens with aromas of fresh citrus, honey and white flowers. The palate is fresh and clean, with flavors of ripe lemon, green apple and grapefruit framed by mineral undertones. The light finish is refreshing and crisp." —winemaker

"Pale color, translucent, with greenish tints, and with a steady effervescence and a formation of small bubbles which generate a gentle crown. Fine, delicate and very clean, with lightly toasted pastry notes and syrupy fruits. Fresh and fruity, well structured, crispy, balanced carbonic and good persistence. Light hints of pastry and fresh fruits, altogether elegant and lively. Perfect harmony alcohol/acidity. Long aftertaste." —winemaker

"A hint of pencil shavings highlights this dry-style cava. With its firm structure and cleansing finish, it would work both as an aperitif or with light foods." -winemaker

"Veuve du Vernay sparkling wine has an intimate link to the history of French sparkling wine. Mr. Jean Eugène Charmat, the French scientist, who in 1907 invented the cuve close (“sealed vats”) method of producing fine sparkling wine which has since been adopted worldwide, had a high regard for a widow in the village of Vernay who helped him to start his business. When Eugène Charmat’s son Robert created a new sparkling wine of high quality in the 1960s, he named it in honor of the lady whom his father esteemed so highly. Today Veuve du Vernay is a major brand and is widely known internationally. Crisp and fruity , soft , balanced finish.A great value. BEST BUY!" -winemaker
