Brilliant straw. Lively, spice- and mineral-accented aromas of fresh lemon and pear; a smoky mineral quality adds lift. Juicy, sharply focused Anjou pear and Meyer lemon flavors become spicier with air and take on a subtle floral quality. A refreshingly bitter quinine note carries the long, incisive finish, which shows fine delineation and minerally lift. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, March 2021)

This highly perfumed, mineral-driven Spanish bubbly shows wonderful clarity and tension, with no excess weight. Emphatically dry and lively in style, the 2016 offers powerful citrus and orchard fruit character, a suave floral note and impressive, stony persistence. $24.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, April 2019)

Mineral + sulfur. Tight bubbles. Good with cheese.

Pop the bubbly, it’s Friday!

I couldn’t go past this bottle of Raventos i Blanc 2017 Cava on the Good Pair Days site for my subscription box this month. It’s one of the more expensive bottles at $38 - however after visiting the Penedes region (the home of Cava) in 2011, I knew it was going to be good 🙌

If you haven’t yet ordered from GPD’s after you do the ‘Palate Quiz’ to find out your recommended wines, make sure to add the code “travellingcorkscrew” at the checkout for a nice little discount 🥳

On the eye this Spanish sparkler is a refreshing lemon 🍋 yellow. On the nose it has a floral bouquet with whiffs of orchard fruits and zesty citrus. While in the mouth it’s smooth, creamy and utterly refreshing. I also really like the sound of the matching Blueberry and Ricotta Soufflé 😋

This wine was sent to me as a sample, I was under no obligation to post about it. By using the above promo code I will receive a small amount of commission.

Crisp apple aroma.
Flavors of apple and pear.
Nice fine bubbles.
Hint of sweetness without being sweet.
Very clean, and very good.

Clear-as-a-bell lemon, a little lime. Brioche. Chalky minerals. Pretty good for a cava! 90…but barely.

Slight strawberry and white peach on the nose, with a stony freshness towards the end, with hints of rhubarb or something deeper, along with the consistent stony minerality. The color is a beautiful pale peach/pink, with a beautiful palate of underripe strawberries, white peach, a beautiful bead of acidity, a slight orange citrus hint, and a great dry finish. A crazy value, and solid pairing for paella!
