Conde de Haro Brut 2021

The sparkling 2021 Conde de Haro Brut Rosé, produced with Garnacha refermented in bottle and kept with lees for no less than 18 months, is clean and expressive, with a vibrant palate. I don't know why, but I prefer the rosé to the white. It's pale and nuanced, elegant and very fresh. 26,000 bottles produced. This was bottled in March 2022 and disgorged in December 2023. - Luis Gutiérrez.

Still labelled as a Cava, at least for now, this Rioja bubbly  pairs Viura and 30% Chardonnay. Lees-aged for 24 months, it's a well-crafted, bone-dry style showing flavours of pear,  citrus and toast plenty of acidity and a nice cushion of bubbles. 2025-28.
