Winery Review- Made from 45% Macabeo, 25% Xarel-lo, 30% Parellada, the nose offers regal yeast and richness, while the palate has complexity to prop up apple, citrus and grapefruit flavors. Solid from front to back, with health and freshness. Cava, Catalan sparkling wine, is made mostly in the regions of Penedes, and the capital of cava is Sant Sadurni d´Anoia. Dibon is located in Vilafranca del Penedes, aproximately 20 Km from Sant Sadurni. The Dibon vineyard is in the process of becoming fully organic. It consists of 75 hectares of trellised vines 1000 feet above the Mediterranean Sea.
My Review- On the nose this wine offers some lemon and pear with some light grassy notes. The taste is lemony with some light bubbles and citrus. A good wine, would drink again.
I tasted this on its own.

Winery Review- Vivid straw colour. Fresh, clean and intense bouquet enlivened by notes of citrus fruit with a depth of pears and apples. Deliciously fresh and full in the mouth where racy, focused flavours deliver notes of minerals, lemon rind and green apples. Good length and a refreshing finish. Has all the character of the best from its appellation.
My Review- It smells buttery and creamy on the nose which resonates on the tongue as well at first. There is a light acidity and a long citrusy finish. A solid wine, would drink again.

Winery Review- Gnarled vines, grown without irrigation, are a mainstay of Spain’s winemaking tradition and produce small clusters of perfectly ripe Garnacha grapes. Aromas of blackberries, plums, and cherries fill the glass and develop into luscious flavors of black stone fruit. Long, supple tannins complete this extraordinary wine.
My Review- This wine has a dark berry/ blueberry aroma. On the tongue there are blueberry notes as well as dark fruits which continues on for a lengthy finish. It is a solid wine, didn't love it but would drink again.

My Review- It smells spicy and leathery. It has a dry cranberry taste with some cherries. It was pretty average to me overall.

Winery Review- This charming, easy-drinking Moscato offers flavors of peach, apricot, lychee and orange blossom. A lively jolt of acidity keeps it fresh and fruity. Fancy enough for a special occasion toast, yet sweet-natured enough to enjoy every day, our bright and cheerful sweet wines are sure to capture your heart.
My Review- Soapy and orange aromas were dominant with some light tangerine. The taste was very sweet and fruity. It was too sweet and I would not try it again.
