Reviews and Ratings

Darlene Myers - CAPS Student rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Crisp, clean and refreshing - this Spanish Cava was fruity and aromatic. It's the Spanish version of Champagne if you're not familiar with Cava. Some flavors of apples, pears and white pepper, it's a very refreshing wine that goes well with cheese, salads and bruschetta to name a few. Enjoy!
Corinna Horton rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

The bubbles of my thirties... this black bottle has been to many a party. Light and fresh, with undertones of white fleshed fruits, I call this "casual bubbly". Not overly pretentious, it fares well with pasta salads and gourmet hot dogs and at this price point, I find no shame in making a mimosa.
finevines90 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Straw-yellow in the glass and mid+ carbonation. Yeasty and fresh cut apple aroma. Palate displays crisp apple and pear. Good acidity.
Courtney Flood rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Light and fresh aromas of lemon, pear and fresh minerailty. Soft bubbles and a slightly creamy palate. Light and refreshing bubbly! Pair with salty cheeses.
Sara M - WSET Advanced reviewed this wine as follows:

Beautifully balanced with notes of green apple, toast and citrus on the palate. Crisp, refreshing acidity that lasts well into the finish. A great everyday sparkling wine!
