Vintage Cellar Review (From Wine Enthusiast-88 points): 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: The aroma came across as quite fruity, specifically reminding me of kiwis and pears. There was also a somewhat buttery smell to the nose. The taste was much more bubbly than I was anticipating and it resembled a sparkling wine. I really enjoyed this white wine and would definitely drink it again!
