WineScores' Review

Value, classic, creamy.
Consistency is the key, when you produce multi-millions of bottle of fizz.
From the wine and fruit juice empire of JG Carrion, this traditional method sparkling goes through a secondary fermentation in its own bottle. The production facility outside of Barcelona is impressive - it's a mostly robotic facility, the quantity of cava stored in the underground cellars mind-bending. The quality and value ratio is unquestionable.
Classic autolytic notes - think rising bread dough and toasted croissants along with yellow apples, buttered nuts and lemon curds. It has a bold mousse with flavours to mimic the nose. Creamy yet lively, harmonious and good depth.
Excellent value.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.

We do not share your email address with anyone. Your email address will be used for the WineDiva newsletter You can opt out of receiving the newsletter anytime.
