"Dibon was founded in 1949 and is produced in the Spanish town of Vilafranca del Penedès, located south of Barcelona in the Catalonia region. The traditional cava grapes of macabeo, parellada and xarel·lo used in this cava were sorted and fermented separately into individual wines. The fermentation is controlled at a low temperature in order to ensure the true expression of each grape. Once fermented, these wines are blended to achieve the Dibon house style and bottled. As per the rules of méthode traditionelle sparkling wine, the secondary fermentation happens in bottle. Dibon cava remains in bottle for two years, at which time it is ready for release.
With a pale colour in the glass featuring a fine bead this cava has a medium-bodied palate with plenty of character. Nice creaminess, complexity, length and attractive green apple notes add to the freshness present thanks to the well-balanced and linear acidity. An impressive sparkler that will pair with a wide range of dishes, making it a potential crowd- pleaser this Christmas."
Gold Medal & Number 3 – Best Sparkling Wine for Christmas – Yvonne Lorkin, Dish.co.nz, November 2023 (NV)
"From the Penedès region in Spain comes an excellent-value cava that’s highly floral, ultra- fresh and fleshed out with complex, apricot stone, green apple and guava notes, with biscuity textures to finish. Deliciously dry, and delicately cleansing, it’s a great example of quality, affordable, widely available Spanish cava."
