Tasting Panel's Review: "Strawberry and pink grapefruit perfume the glass of this gorgeous Cava rosado a blend of 90% Trepat and 10% Garnacha that aged for 12 months. Defined by decisive flavors of cherry pith grapefruit zest, and grenadine, it possesses a subtle richness thanks to its refined mousse and textural complexity." (93)
Personal Review: Today my girlfriend and I decided we were going to try and treat ourselves to a nice Sunday dinner, so we decided to make a few dishes and wanted some wines to go along with them. Our first dish was a simple charcuterie board, which had lots of variation. Because of this, we wanted a wine that would be pairable with a lot of different flavors and would just work as a palate scrubber, and we decided on this wine! The fruit characteristics of this wine actually did more than just scrub the palate and added a nice contrast to the saltiness of the meats and the creaminess of the cheese. The bubbles were also a nice touch and set up a nice atmosphere. Cava is made in methode traditionnelle, which allows for Champagne flavors at much less than Champagne cost!
