Pago de Tharsys, Cava Brut Nature NV

Pago de Tharsys is a family-owned, organic-certified estate in Requena, Valencia, founded in 1999 on a 19th-century cellar site. Led by Vicente García (dubbed the "Godfather of Valencian Cava") the estate farmed sustainably across 12–14 hectares at ~650–800 m elevation. The vineyards, planted on sandy, limestone-rich soils, support low-intervention, traditional method winemaking with indigenous yeasts and an eco‑philosophy that shapes every bottle. Made from the classic blend of Macabeo (Viura) and Parralleda, this bone‑dry Cava presents with a fine, persistent mousse and crisp acidity. The nose is clean and floral, layered with green apple, tender herbs, citrus zest and pear. On the palate it’s lively and mineral-driven, with crunchy Granny‑Smith acidity and a zesty, herbal‑tinged finish. Light and elegant, it delivers stellar value and food‑friendly versatility.
