Thanks to Vinum Menorca this week we recommend a cava made in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia by Bodegas Varios, with a blend of 30% Macabeo, 40% Xarel lo and 40% Parellada. This is the Genuí Varias brut nature, from the DO Cava and it is a cava for guard, the youngest of the entire range of cavas and with a minimum aging of 9 months.

Tasting notes

Appearance: Bright yellow colour with greenish tones. Sparkling and fast bubbles that reflect its youth.
Nose: Very aromatic and with varietal memories typical of the blend.
Palate: Smooth and tasty on the palate while pleasant and fresh.

Pairing

Ideal cava to enjoy as an aperitif, in a wide variety of salads, white meats, celebration dishes and light desserts.

A good option to accompany Christmas and New Year's appetizers, from toast with country pate to smoked salmon, as well as asparagus with hollandaise sauce, tuna belly in extra virgin olive oil and piquillo peppers, Iberian sausage boards and boards of cured cheeses, goose foie with blueberry or raspberry jam.

Smoked salmon with fresh cheese and tender sprouts of sunflower seeds from Ses Voltes a Casa.

Salad with foie, with goat cheese and year-round melon, Belgian endive salad with winter apple from Alaior, orange from the Algendar ravine and pomegranates from Cala en Porter; Tomato, red onion and burrata salad or tuna belly, ox heart tomato, red onion and Menorcan capers.

Roast lamb leg stuffed with Barret de Saant Antoni

Turkey stuffed with couscous, capon stuffed with apricots and dried plums, raisins, apple and pine nuts; Young duck in orange, free-range chicken stuffed with meatballs or Barret de Sant Antoni.

Pork loin with apples.

It will perfectly accompany Menorcan-style baked fish, as well as roast suckling pig and lamb, as well as festive dishes such as loin with apples or quail stuffed with pastrral or a bread roll with blind.

Old cuscussó with raisins and pine nuts.

Also a good option to give a touch of acidity to traditional desserts such as cuscussó , almond cake, pastrral rolls, amaretti and glazed marzipan figures, as well as nougats and shortbreads.
