Winemaker Notes
The nose bursts with rich pear, green apple and hints of cream. On the palate, the wine shows great finesse and balance with notes of papaya and pear rounded out with hints of hazelnuts, finishing with crisp acidity and freshness. Blend: 45% Macabeo, 40% Xarel.lo & 15% Parellada

Showing nice aged qualities, the Mercat Cava is a solid example of sparkling wine from this part of the world. The wine offers dried apples, dusty earth, and a creamy note. Its smooth and easy finish make it an excellent choice as an aperitif. (Tasted: January 17, 2018, San Francisco, CA USA)
Inspired by Barcelona’s Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria – the quintessentially Catalan market destination where locals (and tourists alike) gather to eat, shop and gossip. Mercat Cava aims to evoke the same spirit of community, liveliness, and tradition. The Cava is made using traditional methods in the cellars of El Xamfra, where Francisco Dominguez hand crafts every bottle with the utmost attention and care. The Mercat Cava spends a minimum of 18 months aging on its lees and is finished with a very low dosage, allowing the chalky soils on which the old indigenous vines are grown, to shine through on the palate.
