95 / 100"Lovely nuttiness, flinty smokiness as well. Brioche on the palate, lovely energy and autulytic notes combined - quite serious and in a lovely place right now. Toasty, zesty, chalky and layeerd."

"Grapefruit pith, lemon curd, sea urchins and dried herbs on the nose. Creamy and biscuity on the palate, with a medium body and soft, rounded mousse. Elegant and flavorful."

Xarel-Lo 47%
Macabeu 34%
Parellada 19%
With a blend of native Spanish grape varieties Xarel lo, Macabeo and Parellada, this Cava showcases a fine balance of fruitiness and elegance. The time of lethargy in the vineyard is a pause; a period of latency, when the vines rest and sleep. Sumarroca Letargia Gran Reserva Brut Nature cava is aged for ten years, maturing to achieve the best aromas and subtle touches. Made from carefully selected fruit from our vineyards, this cava reveals the complexity and long finish that extended ageing brings. Tasting notes A bright yellow cava with a gold rim, it has intense aromas of white fruit and flint, accompanied by toast and subtly aromatic grassy notes. This is a serious, elegant cava, with character. In the mouth, the fleshy stone fruits appear. It is tasty and mellow, but with acidity. The past
