| 75 | | | 90 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Cava is the term Spain uses to denote sparkling wines made in the traditional method; that is, with the second fermentation taking place in the specific bottle you hold in your hands. This one is a medium-bodied dry sparkling wine that exhibits a lovely pale straw color and zippy small-bead bubbles. On the nose, initial citrus-focused aromas develop into more focused lemon curd aromas. The palate shows a lovely spice-centered core, with a hint of ginger, restrained fruit and a clean, crisp, long finish. Moderate alcohol (11.5%), allows one to enjoy multiple glasses of this well-priced sparkler. Grapes: 45% Xarel.lo, 35% Parellada, 25% Macabeo. In Spain, cava often is offered after a meal, but it makes a lovely aperitif as well. Foods: Greek taramosalata on a sea-salted potato chip (hard to stop tasting this one!); salmon caviar on a salted potato chip with a dab of Mexican crema agria; pistachios; potato-based nibbles, such as tiny potatoes stuffed with sour cream, chives, and either a bit of salmon caviar or some smoked salmon; dim sum; Korean egg-and-crab pancakes; shrimp-based dips or salad; calamari with lemon aioli; sushi.
