Rondel
Brut Cava Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada
Cava, Catalunya, Spain
Had a recent batch, pale lemon color with light bubbles, aromas of stone fruits and sweet scents. On the palate flavors of apple with sweet notes. The wine finishes sweet with mineral notes. Ok but not great. Better ones out there. Tasting Sample.

Yellow in color with a golden tint.
Fruity nose of citrus, lemons, apples, diesel, white pepper, spices, grass and white pepper.
Medium bodied with obnoxious bobbles and high acidity.
Dry on the palate with limes, grapefruits, citrus, green apples, minerals and white pepper.
Short finish with bitter almonds.
This is a drinkable Cava from Spain. Unbalanced and simple. Harsh on the palate and better with food. Bitter and tart for my taste.
I paired it with almond soup, which was interesting, but paired very nicely.
11.5% alcohol by volume.

Had this again recently. Clear straw with light bubbles. Aromas of stone fruits and sweet scents. The palate shows apple fruit, very dry and acidic. The wine finishes with minerality and toasty notes. Ok but not great. Better ones out there. Tasting Sample.

Apr 6th, 2017Clear straw yellow with decent bubbles. Fresh crisp fruit aromas. On the palate ripe stone fruit flavors with a touch of citrus. The finish is about medium, had lively acidity and good balance. Great for mimosa's.

Mar 18th, 2016Pale lemon in color with a green tint.
Fruity and bitter on the nose with grapefruits, Almonds, lime and citrus.
Dry on the palate with very small bubbles yet powerful with lime, grapefruit, green apples and bitter almonds.
Light to medium bodied with a short finish.
Not offensive nor complicated.
Pairs nicely with appetizers, but not by itself.

Honey, almond, apple. Not bad for an $8 Cava. Would buy again.

Floral nose with peaches and pears in the palate. Rather average.

Dry, very light, crisp, fresh, relentless bubbles, not too sweet, lovely subtle flavour, easy drinking. Stunning bottle for the price tag c.£8
