This the Catena Zapata DV Catena Brut Nature Sparkling. I requested Delectable add it. It is not Exported to the U.S. The Sparking is served for breakfast after the vineyard tour.

On the nose; lemon cream custard, combination of green & golden apple, grapefruit, some lime, ripe pineapple, cream soda, soft understated minerality and yellow florals.

On the palate; it’s, crisp, on the leaner side, fruity but has plenty of rocky minerality. Green & golden apple, lime zest, grapefruit, pineapple, cream soda, soft understated minerality and yellow florals. Crispy acidity and a refreshing, rich polished finish.

Photos of; the enclosed tasting room that looks into their beautiful barrel room. The lounge area as you enter. Small theater room that shows a short video of their history. The view standing on their front terrace.
