SEGURA VIUDAS BRUT ROSE, Spain

The cherry pith and grapefruit zest give this Cava a nice bite that balances the fruitiness, and it's dry enough to pair well with appetizers. Perfect for a celebratory toast without being too sweet.

The strawberry and pink grapefruit hit right away, but it's that grenadine richness that makes it feel fancier than the price. Poured it for a small get-together and everyone kept asking what it was before I even mentioned the bubbles.

Popped this for a lazy Sunday lunch and the strawberry and pink grapefruit notes hit immediately, so fresh. The grenadine richness on the finish makes it feel more indulgent than your average Cava, and it disappeared way too fast.
