Winery review: "From a 9th generation wine maker who is pushing the envelope for quality and value. This tradition-styled Cava is a blend of Macabeu, XarelAlo, Parellada and Chardonnay all grown in organic/biodynamic vineyards. Our first reaction to tasting it was, "Wow- this is really good!" There's plenty of elegant white and even some red fruit set off by a fine yeasty/bready character and a dash of seaside minerality. Creamy, with small, refined bubbles and ready to enjoy anytime you need a little lift."

My review: This white was such an interesting wine to taste. It was a normal looking white with no legs and tiny bubbles. It had a bouquet of pears and ocean air. Tasting this wine was super dry. You notice how salty this wine is, but beneath the salt is a dirt/buttery/nutty taste with some mingling fruit flavors but hard to distingquish. The finish was nice, pretty much a fizz bomb of a finish! Would drink again. I loved the salt in this wine.
