92	Wine Enthusiast	Maria Casanovas NV Brut de Brut Reserva (Cava). Mixed citrus, crisp nectarine, honeysuckle and flint swirl from the glass and fill the mouth with flavor. A creamy mousse joins a kiss of pineapple through a lengthy finish. Refreshing and flavorful. Grapes of Spain. E.C.B; October, 2025
91	View from the Cellar	The Maria Casanovas Brut de Brut Reserva is crafted this year from a cépages of forty percent Parellada and thirty percent each of Macabeo and Xarel-lo. All of the vineyards here are planted in heavily limestone soils and certified organic. The new release is from the base year of 2021 and was disgorged in October of 2024 and is non-dosé. The wine’s aromatic constellation reveals notes of tart orange, breadfruit, chalky minerality, dried flowers and a touch of wild fennel in the upper register. On the palate the wine is crisp, full-bodied, complex and nicely soil-driven in personality, with a lovely sense of balance and focus, frothy mousse and a long, complex finish.Fine juice. 2025-2035+. John Gilman, Issue 1117, May– June 2025
90	OwenBargreen.com	NV Cava Maria Casanovos ‘Brut de Brut’ Cava- The NV ‘Brut de Brut’ combines Macabeo, Parrillada and Xarel-Lo coming form limestone rich clay and gravel soils. Showing a refined mouthfeel, this leads with ginger and lime zest notes alongside wet chalky soils and suggestions of Gravenstein apple on the palate. Enjoy this beautiful wine now and over the next few years. Drink 2024-2030. Owen Bargreen - November 18, 2024
