Crafted by the renowned Freixenet winery in the heart of the Cava region of Spain, this sparkling wine is a testament to the traditional 'méthode champenoise' (método tradicional) and the dedication to quality that Freixenet has upheld for generations.

When poured, Freixenet Carta Nevada presents a pale straw-yellow color with lively, persistent bubbles that dance in the glass. The nose is greeted with aromas of fresh green apple, ripe pear, and a hint of citrus blossom. On the palate, the wine is smooth and creamy, with a pleasant sweetness that is balanced by a crisp acidity. Flavors of white fruit dominate, accompanied by subtle notes of almonds and a touch of brioche. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a lingering sweetness and a delightful effervescence.
