I'm always interested in tasting wine that people bring over to a dinner party. This was one I hadn't seen in a long time. This "André Champagne of Spain" looks like a bottle of Alizé. Bring Advil for the next day. Headache in a glass. There are many other cheap Cavas on the market that are so much more serviceable. Don't hurt yourself if you don't have to.

Nice, but I personally expected it to be more "brut", otherwise - perfect!

Simple and basic Spanish Cava. Traditional blend of white Spanish grapes. Apple and pear with a hint of citrus. Effervescence did hang out for a good while. Fresh and fruit forward.

Good, solid and inexpensive. Sharp and bubbly and complements well with brunch party mixers like lavender syrup or clove and hibiscus.
