Tasting - Muscanti Brut

Name: Muscanti Brut
Variety:Whine Sparkling Blend
Region: Girona
Country: Spain
Year: None Given
Price: $7.95

Critic Review: Lemon blossoms, green apple, toast and honeydew melon are front and center in this crisp refreshing Spanish Sparkler. Silky supple with lingering flavors, yet a tingle of citric acid on the finish.  A combination of traditional cava grapes but this wine is not made in the traditional méthode champenoise (which is required by Spanish law to be called Cava). This is made with the Charmat
process so this wine may only be called ‘Spanish sparkling wine’ .

My Review: This wine was very light golden in color.  It smelled like kiwis.  It was dry and not very acidic.  It tasted like pears with a slightly bready or yeasty aftertaste. The carbonation was very light.  I did not try this wine with food.
