WTN: Codorniu Reserva Raventos Cava Brut NV

Méthode Traditionnelle
Costers del Segre

The bottle doesn't indicate the blend but a search on the Internet suggests it is Chardonnay (50 per cent), Macabeo and Xarel-lo.

Good forthy mousse when poured.

Medium gold color.

Few streams of fine bubbles in the glass.

Medium weight, green apple, lemon and a hint of orange, good acidity, honeyed, fairly rich, clean and refreshing, with a mild bitter streak.

Green apples on the drying finish.

A delicious wine.

Purchased at $14.95 (Canadian) and very good QPR.

Are there any top quality cavas available in the US and Canada? - Good yeasty ones ike Gramona or Llopart which would knock the socks off most low to mid priced Champagnes.

Nothing decent in the UK for me.

Great to see you here again Warren! The Pato from Portugal is very nice, down to my last bottle. Cava not well reped here, just the usual stuff.

Well Bob I am following the Bobsleigh on from Whistler so I thought of this place.

Great, you are in the right place!
