Wine 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: I haven't had any wines with refined bubbles in them before, but I must say it was a delight. I am not much of a white wine drinker, so I was skeptical at first taste. After a second taste I was hooked and will look for this bottle in the future. I picked up on the minerality of it and it was certainly creamy. Didn't get any of the red fruit, but maybe next time.
