El meu avi Brut Nature

Thanks to Vinum Menorca this week we recommend a cava made in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia by Cellers Varias, with the traditional blend of Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada. It is El meu avi brut nature, from the DO Cava and which is a cava for aging, the youngest of the entire range of cavas and with a minimum aging of 9 months.

Tasting note

View: Bright yellow color with greenish hues. Sparkling and fast bubbles that reflect its youth.

Nose: Pleasant aromas of flowers and white fruits, also of jasmine flowers.

Mouth: Fresh and tasty with touches of green fruits such as Alaior winter apple or conference pears.

White fish baked or with sauces. Monkfish at seamans art, sea bass in salt, gilthead sea bream, dentex or baked sea bass with potatoes. Grouper with seafood sauce or turbot in Orio style.

It is the perfect pairing for baked suckling pig and Menorcan lamb, as well as capons, turkeys and chickens with Christmas fillings such as cuscussó.

Salmon sashimi

It will also go well with oriental dishes, such as sushi and sashimi varieties, as well as salmon and red prawn tartare from Ciutadella, tuna tataki or carpaccios such as octopus, scallop or prawn. It also goes perfectly with sea bass ceviche.
