Dibon Brut Rose Cava

The Wine

Fermented from 100% Garnacha, this Cava spent an extended period (15 months) on the lees, so it boasts a creamy texture and tertiary aromatics from this bottle age. Among the most elegant and sophisticated rosé Cava on the market at a stupid good price!

Tasting Notes: Small bubbles help deliver a gentle fragrance with smells of fruits, raspberry and blackcurrant. It is very full on the palate, with a generous mousse. Bright red fruit notes are markedly evident on the nose and continue onto the palate experience as well. A long finish with great elegance.

The Winery

There is a reason Dibon is the fastest growing Cava brand in the country – it consistently over-delivers with layers of complexity, enviable weight, and finely textured bubbles. Are they buying market share as many have suggested? I don't know. All I know is this is stupid cheap and should cost at LEAST $5 more per bottle, but we've decided to honor our usual pricing formula and keep the Dibon wine prices as-is.

To this day, Dibon's wines are fermented and aged in their underground cellar hewn out of the limestone beneath an 18th century building right next door to the Villafranca del Penedes train station. Minimal aging is 15 months, and reserve wines are aged up to 10 years.
