I'll start by saying that this has been the most fun week of the blog. I love Spanish wine for their flavors, its regional diversity and its price/quality ratio. And to cap all of that off, I was able to taste this great Cava during the Preakness Stakes. Had this glass in hand as my Exacta came in on a real close finish. It made it taste that much better.
Cava is Spain's answer to sparkling wine. There are a few large producers, but the majority of production is still made by small producers whose wineries have been in the family for generations.
The color on this rose cava was more peach than pink. The aromas were classic rose strawberries and raspberries with some slight minerality.
I thought this wine was great. The flavors followed the aromas and the acidity was well balanced with the fruit. This drinks well alone, but would also pair very well with sushi or summer salads.
Great value for a bottle of bubbly. $20.
