Tasting - "Dibon Cava Xarel-lo, Macabeo, Parellada"

Name: Dibon Cava Xarel-lo, Macabeo, Parallada
Variety: 45% Macabeo, 25% Xarel-lo, 30% Parellada
Region: Catalonia
Country: Spain
Year: 2013
Price: $9.95

Wine Review: "Made from 45% Macabeo, 25% Xarel-lo, 30% Parellada, the nose offers regal yeast and richness, while the palate has complexity to prop up apple, citrus and grapefruit flavors. Solid from front to back, with health and freshness. Cava, Catalan sparkling wine, is made mostly in the regions of Penedes, and the capital of cava is Sant Sadurni d´Anoia. Dibon is located in Vilafranca del Penedes, aproximately 20 Km from Sant Sadurni. The Dibon vineyard is in the process of becoming fully organic. It consists of 75 hectares of trellised vines 1000 feet above the Mediterranean Sea."

My Review: This wine smells sour and toasty and is very bubbly with a fruity taste and alcoholic aftertaste that lingers. very good! 
I enjoyed this wine without food.
