Dibon Cava

Name:Dibon Cava Variety:Xarello, Macabeo, Parellada Region: Catalonia Country: Spain Year: (didn't state) Price $:9.95 Winery review: 88 points – Wine Enthusiast Made from 45% Macabeo, 25% Xarel-lo, 30% Parellada, the nose offers regal yeast and richness, while the palate has complexity to prop up apple, citrus and grapefruit flavors. 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. Dibon is located in Vilafranca del Penedes, aproximately 20 Km from Sant Sadurni. The Dibon vineyard is in the process of becoming fully organic. It consists of 75 hectares of trellised vines 1000 feet above the Mediterranean Sea. My review:  Funny that this was the wine of the week. The reason it is funny is because the tuesday before the tasting I went in to get 3 wines for the wine and cheese pairing and this was one of the 3. I rather liked it honestly wasn't strong at all honestly and made a nice after taste a bit of a funny note though is the cork is under a lot of pressure. I didn't know this when I was opening it and when I did the cork shot off and bounced off 2 walls into my kitchen! Still I would recommend this to people wanting a good solid wine for sipping or food.   ***I did not eat anything with this wine***
