The Colet Navazos Reserva Extra Brut 2017 is a standout example of the exceptional quality and complexity that can be found in the Penedes region of Spain. This vintage, produced by the renowned Equipo Navazos, showcases a pale golden hue with fine and persistent bubbles. On the nose, aromas of ripe apple, citrus, and toasted brioche are prominent, with subtle hints of mineral notes. The palate is a delightful balance of freshness and depth, with a creamy texture and a long, dry finish. Flavors of green apple, lemon, and a touch of salinity create a harmonious and elegant taste experience. This wine is a true reflection of the terroir and expert craftsmanship that go into its production, making it a must-try for any sparkling wine connoisseur.

Pedro Ballesteros Torres MW - Decanter
Delicious blend of the flagship Penedès style with a Sherry touch: a cultural crossing as good as Catalan flamenco. Pure Xarel.lo, organic, but the liqueur d'expédition for the second fermentation is a drop of palo cortado, selected by premium Sherry specialist Equipo Navazos. The result is fascinating: the wine attains an even drier character with a hint of noble development, while keeping its Cava identity. Very original.

Luis Gutierrez - Wine Advocate
The energetic 2017 Colet Navazos Extra Brut Reserva has energy and the chalky and dry sensation from the chalk and the yeasts used in the aging of the wine in bottle and in the Manzanilla that was used for topping up the bottles. It's very interesting to compare the vintages and to see how the wines mature in bottle and how they get settled, the bubbles more integrated and gaining in complexity.
