This wine combines a couple of my favorite things: bubbles and interestinggrapes! I’m still on the hunt for more grapes to try in hopes of some daymaking the Double-Century Club. Which, I should really submit my applicationsince I finished up my Century Club ages ago now…I just never got around toit! We popped on the Lady of Spain Brut Cava the other night. Why?Because it was a weekday and bubbles make weekdays better! The Lady of Spainclocked in at 12% alcohol by volume, retails for around $12, and had atraditional cork closure. It’s composed of 45% Macabo, 40% Xarel-lo, and15% Parellada. The first and last are new grapes for me!
On the nose I got lemon, yeast, wax, apples, and a little toast. The palateon this was almost pure green apples. My notes say “very apply,” (I like tomake up words) “green apples,” and “more apples.” I found the wine to be crisp,fresh, and lively, and for $10-$12 for a weekday sipper, it’s sure to spice upyour Tuesday night!
