Crisp notes of apple skins, brioche, baking spices and pears emerge from this fragrant, medium-bodied sparkler. It possesses tiny, uniformed bubbles, impressive purity and a heady finish.
Cavas are extremely versatile, not only as an apéritif before the meal or to accompany dessert afterwards, but also to enjoy during the meal. Oysters, raw tuna and sushi are a good match, and Naveran Dama’s fresh acidity will compliment fruit desserts well, especially peaches and sliced oranges.
Blend: 85% Chardonnay, 15% Parellada. Organically grown vines planted from 1975-1993. The wine is aged for a minimum of 18 months and often longer, depending on vintage, on its lees.
Wine Enthusiast Review:
Persistent effervescence and aromas of apricot, orange blossom and dried tarragon rise from the glass. This Cava is soft on the palate, offering flavors of mandarin orange, white peach, dried Mediterranean herbs and slivered almonds that glide into a bright, citrus-filled finish. -M.D.
