Hell yeah to xarel.lo. I used to sell that Loxarel and dispatched a fair few bottles in my time. I also love the Celler Credo expressions, especially once there's a little bit of skin contact involved.
Great article and this echoes what I've read in Decanter and other wine publications. Corpinnat and Classic Penedes sound like a mid-range option between Champagne and English sparkling wine and entry level Prosecco and basic Cremant.
It seems that only mature markets such as the States or Europe are ready for these new wines from Spain, as here in Taiwan Cava is all that's available atm. I have noticed more Reserva and Gran Reserva Cava, compared to previous years, but not the other two. I follow wine industry news here and attend 3-4 trade fairs/expos a year and haven't seen it and even boutique wine importers and shops don't import it here. Maybe it will take another year or two to catch on.
