Tasting - Dibon Cava Brut Reserve

Name: Dibon Cava Brut Reserve
Variety: 45% Macabeo, 25% Xarel-lo, 30% Parellada
Region: Penedes
Country: Spain
Year: NV
Price: $9.95

Winery 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 sparkler for a great price!

My Review: This interesting blend was extremely bubbly. While smelling it I found that I noticed a fairly loud crackling sound that I discovered was due to extreme effervescence. The nose hinted at bright fruit flavors, like typical white wine apple and pear flavors. It was light and un-intrusive to my palate and the fruity, tingly body was truly refreshing. 

I did not try this with food.
