Jaume Serra Cristalino Cava Brut
Variety: Viura, Parellada, Xarel-lo
Country: Spain
Region: Cava
Price: $9.99
Vine Pair Review: Fresh and clean, this is exactly what’s expected for budget Cava. It’s fruit-forward, with ripe red apple fruit, but it finishes dry and refreshing.
Wine Folly Description: "Viura is the primary grape in Spanish Rioja Blanco and Cava sparkling wines (where it's called Macabeo). Viura wines become increasingly rich and nutty with age (Page 187).
Wine Folly Specific Flavors: Honeydew, lime peel, lemon verbana, tarragon, hazelnut (Page 187)
Review: Initial aromas include a strong impression of rising bread, apple, pear, and lime. Tasting reveals notes of lime, green apple, and tropical fruit. It has a crisp and short-lived finish.
