Mas Codina, Cava Brut Reserva, Penedès, Spain, 2018
{organic} 48% Macabeu, 34% Xarel-lo, 10% Chardonnay, 8% Pinot Noir
CLEAN & AROMATIC, INTENSE & LOVELY
On the last day of a trip to Spain years ago, we found this lovely little winery on a "down-low" tip from a top-quality estate owner in the region. It ended up being a fantastic find for us, as this bubbly has soul, freshness, complexity and drinkability. Family-owned since the 1600’s by the Garriga family, Mas Codina is a secret even in Spain. This Brut Cava is so tasty, you’ll be stunned that you aren’t paying top dollar for it!
Serving Suggestions: A great match w/ fried oysters, fish tacos, crayfish salad. Nicoise salad topped w/ shrimp. Blistered shishito peppers w/ lemon & sea salt.
