Albet i Noya, Brut Natural Reserva 2013, Penedès, Spain

Tasting Note: A spritely, sparkling wine from Penedès, Spain that abounds with fresh-fruit flavors.

Pale-intensity lemon in color with small, persistent bubbles, this wine has a nose of lemon-citrus, fresh-pear slice, honeysuckle, white nectarine and quince.

On the palate the dry, medium-bodied sparkling wine is filled with bright, green, tart fruit flavors and completes with a lemon-citrus-infused, medium finish.

The wine has a steely texture with medium-plus intensity flavors supported by medium-plus acidity.

Would make a perfect aperitif sparkling wine or palate cleanser between courses.

Bottle Note: Traditional method. Made with organic grapes. 29% Parellada, 24% Macabeu, 24% Chardonnay, 23% Xarel-lo.
