The outstanding 2009 De Nit (rose) has an almost hypnotic perfect pale hue that is worth the price alone! A blend of classic Cava varieties with 5% Monastrell it is sourced from 30- to 40-year-old vines from the estate. The nose is very subtle and very pretty with traces of rosewater fish scale and Morello cherries all beautifully defined and drawing you in. The palate is crisp and tense on the entry: a minimalist rose cave that is based on freshness and poise rather than delivering fruit intensity. It is a delicate very pretty harmonious Cava rose that is sensual and alluring. Who needs Champagne when Cava can be as good as this? Drink now-2015+. -Neal Martin
