Winery review: From a 9th generation winemaker who is pushing the envelope for quality and value. This traditional-styled Cava is a blend of Macabeu, XarelAlo, Parellada and Chardonnay all grown in organic/biodynamic vineyards. Our first reaction to tasting it was, “Wow – this is really good!” There’s plenty of elegant white and even some red fruit set off by a fine yeasty/bready character and a dash of seaside minerality. Creamy, with small, refined bubbles, and ready to enjoy anytime you need a little lift.
My review: The nose of this wine reminded me of apricots. I really enjoyed the bubbly mouth feel of this wine. The finish was reminiscent of sour grapefruit. I actually really enjoyed this wine.
I tried this wine without food.
