Tasting - Dibon Cava Brut Reserve


 

Dibon Cava Brut Reserve
Variety:  45% Macabeo, 25% Xarel-lo, 30% Parellada
Region:  Penedes
Country:  Spain
Year:  NV
Price:  $9.95
Shop Review:  Light gold with plenty of bubbles, this wine has aromas of apples and pears with pleasant floral notes. Crisp and light-bodied on the palate, stone fruit flavors are accompanied by a mild minerality and balanced acidity.  A delicious sparklers for a great price!
Personal Review:  Smells pleasantly of fresh apple and pear.  Tastes a bit off, but generally good.  Light and bubbly.  I think that it is the stone side I do not quite like.
**I actually tried this again chilled and it was much better.  The slightly off side of the taste was very minimal. Possibly because I had been drinking a pina colada beforehand and that affected the taste?
Food Paring:  Not tasted with food
