Our Score
(5/2020) This bright, bone-dry Cava comes from an estate led by winemaker Olga Betrian. Long a pioneer in organic farming in Penedes, she has recently gone even further, gaining Demeter biodynamic certification. Somehow, we are still able offer the same outstanding price! Composed of 40% Xarel-lo, 40% Macabeu and 20% Parellada, it is an outstanding bubbly to pair with a wide range of food. This latest disgorgement offers a nice richness on the palate which is highlighted by notes of waxy yellow apple fruit, biscuit, dried herb, Spanish broom, Marcona almond and strawberry tops. This has been enjoyed by Vin Chicago team members with takeout sushi many times over the years, and we see that in your future as well.
