Dibon Cava Xarel-lo, Macabeo, Parellada
Catalonia, Spain
Price: $9.95
Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes: 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.
This wine was light and fruity on the nose with a hint of citrus. However, on the palate I found it to be rather dry. The citrus nose came through on the palate with a pleasant grapefruit flavor on the palate with an interesting, lingering finish.
