89 Points - Wine & Spirits - Smooth, satisfying
and dry, this Cava has a sophisticated texture and plenty of fresh green
apple flavor to pour with cracked crab.
The Huguet family devotes
certain high parcels to the production of world-class sparkling wine,
blending the Montonec and Macabeo with judicious portions of Chardonnay
and Pinot Noir. A world-class sparkling wine, second to none in Spain. |
Can Feixes
(means House Terraces)
2005 Blanc Seleccio $15.99
Cataluna,
NE Spain
Huguet de Can Feixes, Cabrera d'Anoia |
 |
Parellada, Macabeo and a
touch of Chardonnay.
Parellada at its best, from high-altitude, gravelly mountain
soils.
Intense lemon-oil aroma with firm acid structure
enhanced by the extract of Chardonnay. Stony and aromatic, reminiscent of
France's Chablis or Germany's Rheingau. |
Juicy,
bright and persistent on the finish, with a refreshingly bitter note of
citrus zest. 89 Points - IWC Josh Raynolds
"Pale color.
Aromatic nose combines ginger, curry powder, lime, pear, apple, spring
flowers and menthol. Lively, slightly leesy flavors of pear, apple, honey
and spices; a bit like Champagne without bubbles. Finishes juicy and dry,
with notes of quinine and lime. 88 points"

Points - IWC - Pale gold. Stony, spicy scents of apple, pear, ginger and
lemongrass. Expands through the finish, showing a range of bright, tangy
citrus notes and good length.
Estate-bottled, among the
best cavas at any price. Excellent base wine made from equal parts
Xarel-lo, Parellada & Macabeo. |

100% Trepat, a Catalan black
variety especially apt for rose production. Attractive light ruby color
with pronounced red berry fruit & excellent mousse. Super! One
of my favorite Rose or Blush Wines. |

"Pale gold,. Bright, minty,
stony aromas of fresh citrus and pear kissed by ginger. Firm and dry, with
bright orange and lemon flavors and a juicy tone to the finish. Almost
gentle in the context of albarino."

Castilla Y Leon,
North Central Spain
- Bodegas Angel Rodriguez, La Seca |

Verdejo apports viscosity & a
powerful finish, while maintaining a delicate floral nose. Try with
seafood. |
88
Points IWC
Light gold. Pungent, grassy nose, with vibrant
scents of lemon, green tea, ginger and jasmine. Spicy and incisive, with
brisk citrus flavors accented by herbs and minerals. Finishes broad, supple
and spicy, with gentle acids. |

"This rich white delivers melon, lime, butter, and lees flavors. It’s thick,
almost heavy, but has just enough citrusy acidity for balance." 87 points
---Thomas Matthews, Wine Spectator, November 30, 2005
(Lusco Albariño 2004) "Bright, pale yellow. Discreet chalky nose hints at
exotic guava and passion fruit. Lemony fruit along with an exotic suggestion
of banana. 87 points"
