92	Wine Enthusiast	This almost-clear sparkling wine is softly effervescent. A bouquet of Granny Smith apple and toast leads to green pear, pineapple and honeysuckle flavors that evaporate in a bright finish. Best Buy. Mike DeSimone; Issue June - July 2023
91	View from the Cellar	The Maria Casanovas Brut de Brut Reserva is crafted this year from a cépages of forty percent Parellada and thirty percent each of Macabeo and Xarel-lo. All of the vineyards here are planted in heavily limestone soils and certified organic. The new release is from the base year of 2021 and was disgorged in October of 2024 and is non-dosé. The wine’s aromatic constellation reveals notes of tart orange, breadfruit, chalky minerality, dried flowers and a touch of wild fennel in the upper register. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied, complex and nicely soil-driven in personality, with a lovely sense of balance and focus, frothy mousse and a long, complex finish.Fine juice. 2025-2035+. John Gilman, Issue 1117, May– June 2025

Enjoy this beautiful wine now and over the next few years. Drink 2024-2030. Owen Bargreen - November 18, 2024
