Solid from front to back, with health and freshness. Cava, Catalan sparkling wine, is made mostly in the regions of Penedes, and the capital of cava is Sant Sadurni d´Anoia.

My Review: I liked this wine, but it was a little more tart than I would prefer. There is only one way to describe this wine to me. Safe. With a light gold color and body, green apple and floral nose nothing stood out at first. The taste had a slightly bitter bite almost immediately, followed by the tingling effervescence and a grapefruit finish. Unless you’re a fan of grapefruit, I’d pass on this one.
Food: I drank this wine at the Vintage Cellar tasting, so I was unable to pair any foods to this wine.
