This delightful cava is 50% Macabeo grapes, 35% Parellada and 15% Xarel-lo. Wine Enthusiast says you can say “zuh-REL-o” and not embarrass yourself too much. The trio of Spanish grapes are typically used to make the sparkling treat known as cava. Alcohol tips in at 11.5% abv and it sells for $15.
The bubbles disappear quickly, but they’re a blast for the short time they hang around. Once they go away, the yeasty nose comes on strong and brings tons of citrus and minerals with it. The mouth is full and dry, with earth and Meyer lemon to flavor the palate. Yeast and dirt linger on the finish for a long time. — 7 years ago
The wine through out the bottle changes so much. Has a nice spicy after taste with citrus, it pair better with beef tongue than salmon. Visiting newly opened Soca in Sherman Oaks and the 2012 bottle costs $68.00 — 8 years ago

Atypical Sicily wine: rel. low alcohol and medium bodied. Though present tannins and acid. Fruity and mineral notes. High complexity. Bought it today at the vinery and love it! — 5 months ago
