Cheese with Mestres wines

Garrotxa Our pick Dry white Cava, high in acidity and with a fine bead, scrubs Garrotxa's buttery paste from the palate, while its fresh fruit sits easily beside the mild goat's milk and the damp-cellar notes of the grey rind. White Cava, Brut and Brut Nature (Reserva and younger), Penedes: 1312 Reserva Brut Nature
Formatge serrat Our pick Two years or more on the lees give Gran Reserva Cava toasty or dried-fruit notes and a rounder bead; that depth stands up to serrat's dense, fatty paste, and the dry palate and high acidity cut its peppery richness. Cava Gran Reserva, Brut Nature, Penedes: Coquet Gran Reserva Brut Nature
