Appearance | The Cava Stars Brut Nature has a very bright pale yellow colour with some greenish tinges. |
---|---|
Nose | This blend of Parellada, Xarel·lo and Macabeo suggests some clean remembrances of pears, citrus and peach compote, alongside aromas of pastry, fresh yeasts and aromatic herbs. |
Palate | Smooth and pleasant, this Cava from Castillo Perelada has a refreshing passage through the palate and a well-balanced acidity. Notes of white fruit, a touch of citrus and herbs and some remembrances of pastry and butter. Medium, dry finish. |
Our personal opinion | The unpretentious Stars Brut Nature 2017 is a sparkling wine from L'Empordà which is ideal for laid-back al fresco dinners. |
