Metodo Tradicional Brut Cava Blend

Had this earlier this year, distributor I met said this was a new batch. A traditional blend of Macabeo, Xarel-lo and Parellada from Penedès. Aromas of stone fruit with biscuit and yeasty notes. On the palate ripe fruit, mostly peaches and pears with citrus zest. Lingering finish ending with toasty yeast and mineral character. Really Nice value! Consistent. Tasting Sample.

Had this over a year ago and had the opportunity to taste it again. A traditional blend of Macabeo, Xarel-lo and Parellada from Penedès. Aromas of stone fruit and some biscuit notes. On the palate ripe fruit, mostly peaches and pears with citrus zest. Lingering finish ending with yeast and mineral characteristics. Really Nice value! Tasting Sample.

Serviceable for lunch! Nothing to write home about (or a poem about), but I certainly wouldn't kick it out of bed. Light & crisp.

Nice cava

Sight: gold; more effervescent, bubbles deriving from middle; nose: earthy, barnyard, minerals, taste: honey, apples, buttery, yeast. Bleh.

Sourced from 152 hectares of vineyards located in the Penedes valley in the Catalan province of Barcelona. Straw yellow with aromas of stone fruits and yeasty notes. The palate shows fresh peach, Apple and pear with tiny bubbles and gentle mousse. The finish shows some minerality through a medium+ finish. Nice value.

Soft yeasty. Dash of pear fruit. $13

For $11.50 per bottle, this Cava punches way above its price. Nice bubbles, slightly sweet, no off flavors. It doesn’t compare with Champagne but it’s not really trying to be Champagne. And it is better than many other Cavas I have had.

First sip is a bit bitter, but smooths out once aired. Nice bubbly aperitif to have before a meal.
