Poema Cava

Cava, the easy drinking bubbly from the Penedes region of Spain, is quickly becoming my go-to sparkler when I’m not popping Champagne. I stumbled upon this sparkly last night and it was quite a delight.  (hey that could be the start of a POEM).  Poema definitely expresses Cava in a more complex style, with white nectarine up front and a true toastiness underneath, something I don’t find often in a Cava.  Poema’s double fermentation process creates tiny fizzy flavorful bubbles and I love how they simmer into those yeasty, Spanish baked bread flavors.  I only wish Poema’s limerick was longer.
