  First Brut Nature Cava that I have experienced. More fun than I thought before tasting. Very enjoyable though some distance away from a Champs. A bit heavier than most Brut Natures. Some lime and mango on the nose with suggestions of lemon meringue , grapefruit and stones. Could have used more time on the lees....missing the brioche.
  Moderate acidity and finish. Wait another couple years before trying the next one.

  First let me preface, I have no experience with Xarello. Reading the description for this grape online, I do not find this wine at all austere, except for perhaps the very first few minutes upon opening.
  
  Purchased on a whim – while perusing JJB I noticed a single bottle and was intrigued. The recommendation in the brochure that came with the wine is to let it set a short while to unfold and it was certainly enjoyable to do so.
  
  On the nose, it reminds me of a German Riesling, and it has a hint of wet stones.
  
  Initial impression on tasting was “a white wine that just happens to have bubbles” (yeah, not very descriptive.) There is citrus – perhaps lime, and over a short time, some very nice mineral notes emerge. Early on I noticed a brief bitterness, in a pleasant way, but it went away within a short time. While it is an acidic wine, it is very nicely balanced. I could imagine this wine going very well with seafood or creamed based sauces. I tried it with a bit of Colston Bassett Silton cheese, and while it wasn’t the best pairing it brought out a softer and very enjoyable aspect to the wine.
  
  I’m happy to have had the chance to try this!
