Review: 45% Macabeo, 25% Xarel-lo, 30%
Parellada. 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: The smell of this wine is kind of like soapstone, I can definitely
smell the minerals that the review mentions.
It’s funny, I wrote that I smelled rocks before I read the review and
was really proud that my wine evaluation skills are improving since I got something
right! When I first drank it, all I could sense was the bubbles. I tasted nothing because there were so many
overwhelming bubbles and it was somewhat tongue numbing. Other than a bitter sensation upon swallowing
and the mass of bubbles, I detected no flavors.
It felt a little like drinking sea-foam water due to the smell, but not
really in taste.
