Two wines from the Alta Alella winery have been highlighted with outstanding ratings in the August-October edition of the renowned Wine Enthusiast magazine. These are the cava Alta Alella Laietà Gran Reserva (94 points and editors’ choice mention) and the white wine Alta Alella Cau d’en Genís (93 points and ‘Hidden Gem’ mention). 

Alta Alella Laietà Gran Reserva: “This ballet slipper pink sparkler offers a nose of apricot, jasmine and rising bread dough. Vibrant flavors of Granny Smith apple and carambola mingle with notes of Turkish delight, white chocolate and a touch of slivered almond. Notes of lemon zest and almond blossom linger on the palate.” — Mike DeSimone

Alta Alella Cau d’en Genís: “Made with 100% Xarel-lo, this wine offers a nose of Bartlett pear and lemon blossom. Lemon permeates the palate alongside a lavish mouthfeel, lively acidity and flavors of Golden Delicious apple, honeysuckle and hints of white pepper and dried sage that linger into the finish.” — Mike DeSimone
