Winery Review: From a 9th generation winemaker who is pushing the envelope for quality and value. This traditional style 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 sea side minerality. Cream, with small, refined bubbles, and ready to enjoy anytime you need a little lift.
My Review: The nose on this wine is very light, airy and refreshing and smells like a bubbly champagne. It was not as dry as I was anticipating and was very crisp. There were salty and metallic hints that were very recognizable, which was very good.
I did not taste this wine with food.
