Gallina de Piel Keiva Cava Brut Nature 2020

This sparkling wine hails from Spain, specifically the Peneds region of Catalonia, a renowned area for quality Cava production. Gallina de Piel is the brainchild of David Seijas, former sommelier at the legendary El Bulli restaurant. The winery focuses on expressing terroir and typicity through collaborations with local growers, offering refined wines with precision and personality.

Wine Description
The Keiva Cava Brut Nature 2020 is a bone-dry sparkling wine crafted from a classic blend of Xarello, Macabeu, and Parellada. It pours a pale straw yellow with fine, persistent bubbles. Aromatically, it delivers fresh notes of green apple, pear skin, citrus zest, and toasted brioche, underscored by hints of almond and fennel. On the palate, the wine is brisk and elegant, offering vibrant acidity and a clean, mineral-driven core. Medium-bodied with a long, dry finish, it showcases remarkable finesse and balance. This wine is best enjoyed young to appreciate its freshness but can develop additional complexity over the next 23 years.

Food Pairing
Pair this Cava with oysters, sashimi, or lightly grilled prawns to enhance its saline character and crisp structure. It also complements creamy cheeses and vegetable tempura beautifully. A perfect match to enhance the wine’s complexity.
