The 2008 Brut Nature Cuvee Especial contains 15% Chardonnay that adds an element of complexity. Dry, crisp, and surprisingly elegant, it is a refreshing Cava that will pair well with raw bar. Castillo Perelada’s finest wines are their deluxe still wine cuvees from the DO of Emporda where their magnificent estate (a must for tourists) is located. However, they also produce very good Cavas in a variety of styles. Rose Cava is a wonderful match for Spain’s great hams and Castillo Perelada makes several.

The 2007 Brut Nature Cuvee Especial is made up of the traditional Cava varietals along with 15% Chardonnay. Aromas of biscuit, poached pear, and white peach are followed by a very dry (1g/L), weighty Cava with some structure and elegance. This flavorful, balanced, and lengthy effort will drink well for 2-3 years. As Champagne prices have soared due to the weak dollar, Cava sales have taken off dramatically. Concurrently, the quality of Cava seems to have improved noticeably over the past several years so the new popularity of Cava may not be just a passing fancy. The Cavas del Castillo Perelada portfolio offers solid quality at fair prices. Importer: Perelada; www.castilloperelada.com
