CAVA ELIAS I TERNS BRUT NATURE GRAN RESERVA

Gran Reserva Cava with strong personality. In its composition, Xarel.lo is the predominant variety with a touch of wood that gives different sensations. The structure on the palate and the notes of long aging, make it suitable to accompany a meal. The service temperature should be a little higher than usual because of its long aging, and it makes it much more attractive and complex.
