Cava (reliable Spanish fizz)

My secret love towards Spain apparently doesn't end with the language and tapas. Here comes Cava! It is one of the Spanish classics that is reliable and refreshing. It is mainly produced in Penedés (see the map below) and comes in 'good' price, which is shocking given that it is made using the same method as that used in the production of Champagne.

The key grapes used in the production of Cava are the local Macabeo, Parellada and Xarel-lo. At times, some producers add Chardonnay to add more rounded, modern notes.




AROMA AND FLAVOUR:
Cava is a dry, yet fresh companion that will entertain your evening with its apple notes and cheerful bubbles :) Dive in!
