Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good (89.5)

Wine Review: This white gold colored Cava is a very good value. It displays lots of randomly streaming medium bubbles. It opens with a bread dough, green apple and lime bouquet with a hint of honeydew melon and wet stone. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is round and bright. The flavor profile is a chalky mineral and bread dough blend with notes of marzipan and Bosc pear. We also detected hints of white pepper and green apple. The finish is dry and very refreshing. This easy drinking sparkler will pair nicely with broiled scallops and mini crab cakes. Enjoy – Ken & Mark

Winemaker Notes: Pale yellow. Fine bubbles forming a constant rosary and persistent crown. Very fresh aroma of white fruit (tart apple and pear) on notes of citric rind and white flowers. Spicy bouquet due to ageing (cinnamon) and biscuits. A structured cava on the palate, well balanced acidity that tenses the whole from beginning to finish. The bubble gives a sensation of creaminess, providing volume and softness to the structure bestowed by the acidity and extending the aromas of white fruit and spices that repeat on the palate. Balanced finish that harmonizes its acidity, leaving behind a sensation of freshness and volume due to its slight content in sugars. Pair with fish, rice dishes and dried fruit and nuts.
