Tasting: Muscanti Brut




Name:  Muscanti Brut
Variety:  Muscanti
Country:  Spain
Region:  Girona
Year:  Not listed
Price:  $7.95

Winery 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 smelled like Granny Smith apples to me. It was very crisp and fresh smelling. The taste was very acidic and citrusy though. It was not at all what I expected from the smell. It also made my mouth water.
