Thanks to Vinum Menorca, this week we recommend a cava made in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, the birthplace of great cavas. This is Roger de Flor Brut Nature, made using the traditional method and with a low-temperature fermentation of the must, with aging and aging in the bottle that goes from 9 to 24 months. Its blend is the traditional one of Xarel lo, Macabeo and Parellada. It owes its name to Roger de Flor, Megaduke of the Kingdom of Catalonia and Aragon.

Tasting notes

Appearance: Yellow colour with greenish tones. Good release of carbon and slight formation of a crown of foam in the glass.

Nose: Pleasant aromas of green fruits such as apple and pear, citrus fruits such as lemon and some notes of nuts and toasted bread, typical of its aging.

Mouth: Fresh, balanced, slight acidity that makes it pleasant to drink.

Pairing

The ideal Cava to accompany any type of dish, whether it is an appetizer, main course or dessert, but where we will give it its full potential is with fish and seafood dishes, especially smoked ones.

The ideal accompaniment for grilled or baked scallops with breadcrumbs, chopped garlic and parsley and paprika; cod or breaded sea nettles.

It goes well with pasta dishes such as roast cannelloni or fish and seafood cannelloni, scallops stuffed with monkfish and gratinated with béchamel or tagliatelle with lobster, as is done in Italy.

It will accompany old dishes such as Menorcan leg of lamb stuffed with barret de Sant Antoni, as well as more modern fillings such as chicken rolls stuffed with minced meat and hard-boiled eggs, or ham and cheese, or foie with nuts.

Fish and seafood stews such as monkfish and crayfish, Menorcan-style baked fish such as pagrio, dentex or corvall or grilled or salted white fish, where sea bass, gilthead and red bream will go wonderfully.

It is a good option to accompany oriental cuisine dishes with sushi, salmon or tuna tartares, as well as a carpaccio of red prawn from Ciutadella or a tataki of Menorcan red veal.

For these Christmas holidays, which are already approaching, it is a good option to have a good cava on the table at an excellent quality-price ratio.
