Castellblanc Cava Semi Seco

Castellblanc Semi Seco is an off-dry cava from Penedès, made from the white grapes Macabeo, Parellada and Xarel-lo. The vines grow in clay, granite and limestone soils, and the second fermentation in bottle lasts 15 months before the sediment is disgorged and a dosage of cane sugar is added. It pours pale straw with fine, persistent bubbles. The palate is lively and fresh with good acidity, showing sweet fruit and citrus in balance. Serve it at 5-7°C as an aperitif or with starters, pasta, pizza, fish, chicken and turkey. Castellblanc is one of the older cava houses in Penedès, founded in 1908 by the Parera family.
