A long week has passed and its time for a Friday afternoon reward. First I would like to award this wine the title of "Coolest name so far". Xarel-Lo is a Spanish grape and one of the 3 most common grapes you bubbly fans will find in Cava the generally excellent version of France's Champagne.Now while I really do enjoy trying this varietal unblended and in non-bubbly form. I can see that it is suited to blending. It has a fruity presence on the front palate but leaves the back of your throat high and dry. For $9.50 its probably not one that I would buy in this form again but I am quite happy to have had the chance to try it and certainly look forward to my next bottle of Cava perhaps from Albet i Noya.
