Adventures in Spanish Wine
Cava
Juve y Camps Vintage 2003 Reserva
As promised, I have a few more cavas to taste. Sure cava week is over, but it isn't the only time to drink cava. Any time is cava time, especially Wednesday afternoon.
Anyway on to the wine. The 2003 Vintage Reserva is a blend of 45% Macabeo, 35% Parellada and 20 % Xarel.lo. and sees 24 months on lees.
Brilliant pale gold in colour with a fine nose of lemon, yeasty bread and a hint of melon. On the palate the wine echos the nose, nice and zesty with citrus and melon followed up by a creamy, sherbet finish. 89 Pts.

I like Cava. Who is the importer and where is it available. \’]

I like it too, perfect for warm days…Spanish Acquisition are the importer, they have a whole range of good Cava. This is the first rung on the ladder for these guys as well…
I’m not too sure on availability in Sydney, but here in the Spanish capital you can find it at Rathdowne Cellars. I’m sure most good bottleshops will order it in.
I like Cava but have never had any expensive ones.
Last year I bought a top line Cava in Barcelona as a gift for my cousin who lives in Portugal. The bugger put the bottle in his cupoard and we had to drink Portuguese crap for a week.
