It’s Christmas, a lot of everything on the table, hear the “pop” sound and… Surprise!

A great affordable Cava Brut, by Mont Marçal winery.

Made of 3 different grape varieties: Xarel.lo, Macabeu and Chardonnay.

Clean and balanced Cava, pale yellow with fine bubbles, with pear, apple, and citrus notes.
There is a sweet green apple note at the end with the lemon and orange notes lingering too.

Ideal to drink as an aperitif and with a wide range of dishes: fish, shellfish, light meat dishes, pasta and rice.

And the price?

Less than 7€ in Spain, around £9.50 in the U.K. and for $15-$18 in the U.S. (in ClassicalWines.com)

Great price, isn’t it?
