90	View from the Cellar	The new release of the Conde de Subirats Cava non-vintage Brut is from the base year of 2021 and was made again this year from a cépages of fifty-five percent Macabeu, forty percent Parellada and five percent Chardonnay. The wine was disgorged in June of 2023 and finished with a dosage of 8.5 grams per liter. It delivers a lovely nose of lemon, breadfruit, menthol, limepeel, a fine base of salty minerality and a topnote of lemongrass. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and nicely defined by its underlying minerality, with a good core, pinpoint bubbles, nice, brisk acids and good length and grip on the complex and nicely balanced finish. To my palate, the dosage still sticks out just a touch on the backend and the wine is just a tad sweet, but this will no doubt dissipate with a bit of bottle age. It is a very well-made bottle of Cava and offers excellent value. 2024-2035. John Gilman; Issue 109, January – February 2024
89	View from the Cellar	The Conde de Subirats Cava non-vintage Brut is from the base year of 2020 and was disgorged in April of 2022. It is crafted from a cépages of fifty-five percent Macabeu, forty percent Parellada and five percent Chardonnay. If offers up a bright and complex bouquet of lemon, lime, menthol, salty minerality, dried flowers and a touch of wild fennel in the upper register. On the palate the wine is bright, young and snappy, with a full-bodied format, good depth at the core, frothy mousse and a long, complex and well-balanced finish. This is still fairly youthful and more palate breadth will emerge once the acids have a bit more time to relax. It is a quite good bottle of Cava Brut. 2023-2035. John Gilman - Issue #103 -January/February 2023.
88	Wine Enthusiast	A steady stream of effervescence helps to release aromas of nectarine, orange marmalade and toasted hazelnut. Flavors of white peach, toasted pineapple and marzipan dance on the tongue and evaporate into a refreshing finish. *Best Buy.* Mike DeSimone - Issue May 2023
