50 Great Cavas 2011
When I talk about Cava, I am not talking about the hallucinogenic concoction from the Pacific Islands in the Southern hemisphere; I am talking about the Spanish sparkling wine. Though I am sure if you drink enough of it you could end up having similar side effects!
Recently I spent 6 weeks in the Spanish wine region of the Penedès working on a project with the Wine Pleasures team to create an informative buying guide on some of the great cava’s in the region. It was a hard time in my life, trying glass after glass of Cava but I made it through and can safely say that this sparkler is like no other.
Made from traditional Spanish grapes with a few international ones chucked in from time to time it’s uniquely Spanish. Not to mention it’s the perfect accompaniment for Spanish tapa’s and paella. Even though it has cellar after cellar of history this elixir is modern, funky and is the next trendy thing to be seen drinking.
There is a Cava to suit everyone’s taste from the sweeter side to the crisp bone-dryness of the Brut Nature’s to fresh and fruity Rosés. For your FREE copy of the ultimate Cava guide out there, click on the link below to take you to the Wine Pleasures site. Salud!
