Cava is the glowing wine most related to Spain, however it isn’t the one one made there. This Spanish sparkler, Viña Esmeralda, is made with Moscatel grapes (additionally referred to as Muscat and Moscato). This prohibits it from being referred to as Cava, which is usually produced from Macabeo, Xarel-lo, and Parelleda grapes (among the many 9 grapes permitted within the selection). Word additionally that Viña Esmeralda is a brut, so it’s unlikely to have the sweetness one usually expects to search out within the standard Moscato d’Asti from Italy. Let’s give it a attempt.
Viña Esmeralda pours straw yellow within the glass and divulges a gentle stream of tiny bubbles. The nostril could be very fruity with beautiful notes of ripe peach showing first, adopted by some apple and a bit of lemon. The palate sadly doesn’t reside as much as the expectations set by the nostril. Right here, apple comes first, adopted by some peach, however the flavors are considerably muted. Additionally, the end is disappointingly quick. The wine has medium acidity, which helps it pair with meals, however I hoped for extra from this wine, significantly when it confirmed such promise on the nostril.
