Vintage Cellar Review: 
88 points - Wine Enthusiast
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 ot 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, approximately 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: 
This wine had a very light nose, with fragrances of citrus. The taste was sweet, but not so sweet to the point that it was overpowering, and slightly tart with notes of green apple and mango. It was a very crisp and fresh tasting wine. 

I did not have any food while tasting this wine.
