Quality is smelled and tasted. In the nose, fruit with great intensity, immensely profound with cleanliness and clarity; the lineage of the raw materials is evident, extremely select, with very attenuated and enriching wood. On the palate, the variety is present once again, with exuberant fruitiness of black berries; it is almost irritatingly elegant and harmonious, with overpowering flavor that fills the mouth with tempered substance. It has complexity, as with all of its elements, without stridency; all of its characteristics stand out, but none overly so.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon. 18 months in new Nevers French oak barrels. Bottled in August of 2003.

A very characteristic Cabernet Sauvignon, pure-bred, which has improved in refinement while keeping with its clear, ample potency; and it is more finished than in other years. More fruit than ever, with immense concentration, giving it immense substance and recalling preserves, above all of plums, as well as licorice with somewhat tannic and bitter notes. All of this gives it great richness and variety in the nose and on the palate, where despite the mild presence of the wood, the grape clearly stands out.

We have been saying it year after year, and the ’05 has succeeded once again in improving upon this thriving brand, a sure reflection of the rise of this winery.
Present more than ever is the quality of the raw material—the lineage of the grape.

The Muga barrel-making is evident, in this case producing toasted notes that accentuate its identity. Great sapid concentration, depth, and tannins; very well put together, with the mark of a great wine.

Joan Cusiné cannot keep from making his concerns obvious, allowing him to place his winery among the elite of Cava. This is a product made in the image and method of the great champagnes, enhancing its vinosity with bubbles. It is a Chardonnay, fermented and aged in barrels before being transferred to bottles, where it undergoes secondary fermentation and remains for two years before entering the market.

Attractive golden color, luxurious and resplendent, accentuating its beauty with the quantity of bubbles. Clean, fine aromas in which fruit and wood are perfectly combined, with delicate, citrus and oak sensations. On the palate it is also subtle and fresh, with constant vinosity; playful, crisp, with an alchemistic dry-acidic-bitter balance.
