Consistent with previous bottle. Pale straw in color, this sparkling wine (45% Xarel-lo/30% Macabeu/25% Parellada) reveals pear, green apple and brioche on the nose. The mouth feel brings zippy effervescence, nice minerality and more pear elements. The finish is a little short but pleasant. 12% abv.
Purchased for $16US, this is a classic styled Cava that is perfect for enjoying with friends and with food. I've been a fan of this offering for years and it constantly delivers.

Very good bubbles for the price. More Champagne-like than most Cava. Lightly yeasty. Not bone dry but not off dry either. Green apple and some yeast. Worth repeating.
