Tasting - Dibon Cava

Name: Dibon Cava
Variety: 25% Xarel-lo, 45% Macabeo, 30% Parellada
Region: Catalonia
Country: Spain
Price: $9.95

Winery 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, aproximately 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: On the nose this wine reminded me very slightly of a Chardonnay. It was very crisp with apple and citrus on the palate. I really enjoyed this one and see it as very nice, easy drinking wine.

I did not try this with food.
