Tasting: Dibon Cava

Wine: Dibon Cava
Variety: Xarello, Macabeo, Parellada
Region: Catalonia, Spain
Year: unknown
Price: $9.95

Critic Review: Made from 45% Macabeo, 25% Xarel-lo, 30% Parellada, the nose offers regal yeast and richness, while the palate has complexity to prop up apple, citrus and grapefruit flavors. Solid from front to back, with health and freshness. Cava, Catalan sparkling wine, is made mostly in the regions of Penedes, and the capital of cava is Sant Sadurni d´Anoia. Dibon is located in Vilafranca del Penedes, approximately 20 Km from Sant Sadurni. The Dibon vineyard is in the process of becoming fully organic. It consists of 75 hectares of trellised vines 1000 feet above the Mediterranean Sea.

My Review: This wine was a little dry for my liking, but it was not too bad. It smelled a little bit fruity, and tasted a lot like a bucket of fruit. I enjoyed the fizziness, and I think it would pair well with a dessert of some sort.

Overall, I enjoyed this wine!
