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 from a blend of forty percent Parellada and thirty percent each of Macabeo and Xarel-lo, with all of the fruit hailing from vineyards which are farmed organically. The new release is from the base year of 2020 and was disgorged in March of 2023, without any finishing dosage. The wine offers up a fine nose of lemon, breadfruit, Chablis- like straw tones, a fine base of white soils, just a hint of menthol and a nice dollop of lemongrass in the upper register. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and mineral-driven, with a fine spine of acidity, good depth at the core, elegant mousse and a long, complex and very nicely balanced finish. This is a lovely bottle of Brut Nature Cava and a very good value. 2024-2040. John Gilman; Issue 109, January – February 2024 .
