Colet Navazos Extra Brut 2018 (6 Bottles) Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Spain

The Sergi Colet/Equipo Navazos partnership started in 2003 when the two producers began discussing the parallels between Sherry and Champagne (chalk soils, the significance of reserve/aged wines, etc.). The conversation quickly turned to how one could produce Spanish sparkling wines that somehow incorporated the terroir of Sherry country. As a general guide, the wines are vibrant, enthrallingly fresh and elegant, as well as intellectually stimulating.
