Vilarnau
Reserva Brut Barcelona Sparkling Blend
Spain
This sparkling wine from Spain has as much on the nose as it does in the bubbles. Peach and Meyer lemon aromas mix with toasty notes, while the bubbles froth up nicely - although they do dissipate quickly. The palate is fresh and alive, with lemon, minerals and bit of orange peel for a festive flavor.

Fruitiness all at once and then doused by the brut for a clean and crisp finish. I don’t know what I love more, the bottle or the wine. Either way, a fantastic pick.

Feb 14th, 2020This 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.

Fancy bottle disguising a pretty well made Cava. Next please.
