Brilliant straw. Lively, spice- and mineral-accented aromas of fresh lemon and pear; a smoky mineral quality adds lift. Juicy, sharply focused Anjou pear and Meyer lemon flavors become spicier with air and take on a subtle floral quality. A refreshingly bitter quinine note carries the long, incisive finish, which shows fine delineation and minerally lift. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, March 2021)

Pop the bubbly, it’s Friday!
I couldn’t go past this bottle of Raventos i Blanc 2017 Cava on the Good Pair Days site for my subscription box this month. It’s one of the more expensive bottles at $38 - however after visiting the Penedes region (the home of Cava) in 2011, I knew it was going to be good 🙌
If you haven’t yet ordered from GPD’s after you do the ‘Palate Quiz’ to find out your recommended wines, make sure to add the code “travellingcorkscrew” at the checkout for a nice little discount 🥳
On the eye this Spanish sparkler is a refreshing lemon 🍋 yellow. On the nose it has a floral bouquet with whiffs of orchard fruits and zesty citrus. While in the mouth it’s smooth, creamy and utterly refreshing. I also really like the sound of the matching Blueberry and Ricotta Soufflé 😋
This wine was sent to me as a sample, I was under no obligation to post about it. By using the above promo code I will receive a small amount of commission.
All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!
