A glass or two of cava is always welcome after work. For my money, cava is probably the most refreshing and affordable after work drink around after sherry. Fresh, bubbly, perhaps a bit of sweetness but not too much, not too serious and fun to drink out in the backyard.
Vallformosa are a mid sized house that make a range of cavas and table wines. MVSA is a fairly much equal blend of Macabeo, Xarel.lo and Parellada, a touch less Xarel.lo than the other two, and is aged on lees for 24 months.
Golden straw in colour, the nose offers up apples, bread and subtle spice with a hint of lemon. Rich mouth feel, but elegant and cleansing in mouth. A fine bead, just the right amount of fizz. Apple and spice with lemon sherbet on the finish. There is a touch of sweetness, that really suits this wine. Very good value and quaffability. 88 Pts.
