Nose | Notes of Granny Smith apples, white flowers and underbrush, with hints of pineapple and passion fruit. This blend of Chardonnay, Macabeo and Trepat also carries some mineral undertones and a dash of white pepper. |
Palate | This white wine of Celler Cara Nord has a bold entrance onto the palate and a lush texture. Fresh notes of citrus, flowers and ripe white fruit, with some mineral and salty notions, plus a very good acidity and a medium, slightly bitter finish. |
Our personal opinion | The enjoyable white wine Cara Nord Blanc 2023 will pair excellently with fish dishes and seafood paella. |
