Finca Torremilanos, Cava Brut Nature "Penalba Lopez", Ribera del Duero, Spain
90% Viura (Macabeu), 10% Chardonnay {biodynamic}
CITRUS & ASIAN PEAR, CLEAN & CALCAREOUS
This restrained and refreshing gem is made mostly from Viura, the dominant grape in “Cava country” or Catalonia, where it’s known as Macabeu, but this is not Cava country. In fact, Finca Torremilanos is the only producer in Ribera del Duero which has been entrusted with the ability to describe its bubblies as “Cava.” Pristinely pale with vaguely emerald undercurrents, its born among vines aging as many as 180 years and mixes a minerally zest through its citrus and orchard fruit.
Serving Suggestion: Egg, potato, & onion frittata w/ fresh greens-garbanzo salad & tarragon vinaigrette.
