People poo poo Cava as a cheap sparkling wine. Yet a good Cava is just a good as champagne. Its made in the same method and has the same love and attention in the making, just with different grapes. In this case its made with local Macabeo and Parellada grapes, 25% Parellada, 75% Macabeo.

Its got green apple and lemon aromas which are joined with limes and stone fruit hints and finished with a light creaminess. Its high acidity makes it perfect to go with oysters and shellfish but I guess most people with drink it on its own, which is just fine.

At £10 a bottle its good value, get it on offer with £3 or £4 off and its great value.
