					<description><![CDATA[Light yellow color with hint of copper; lime, citrus, bread on the nose; citrus, grapefruit, tangerine, spice on the palate. Creamy, firm acidity, fresh, light body, minerality-chalk on the somewhat austere finish; very tiny and persistent bubbles. Blend of 50% xarello, 30% macabeo, 20% parellada; organically grown; vegan. To contribute complexity and fine, delicate bubbles, <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/naveran-brut-nature-vintage-cava-2013/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Very dark salmon pink color; strawberry, red apple, honey, bread yeast on the nose; fruit-forward maraschino cherry, strawberry jam on the palate. Creamy, delicious; refreshing, excellent acidity (3.1 pH); balanced flavors; dry even amid flamboyant fruitiness; clean, straightforward cava (Spanish sparkling). Very tiny, very persistent perlage. Intriguing, strikingly dark color signals this is no ho-hum <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/juve-y-camps-pinot-noir-brut-rose-cava-nv/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Strikingly beautiful dark rosé-red color; cherry, red fruit, green apple on the nose; red fruits, strawberry, raspberry on the palate, creamy with nice acidity and green apple tartness on the finish. Brut with only suggestion of sweetness, and that likely comes from the strawberry-cherry fruitiness; at a residual sugar level of 11 g/l, this is <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/anna-de-codorniu-brut-rose-nv/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Deep gold-yellow color, very tiny bubbles; light citrus-green apple nose; light body, zingy acidity (the best feature), lemon, pear on the palate, creamy ripe pear finish with touch of tartness at the very end—a tart exit is common with cavas. Almost bone dry. Appealing, well-priced step-up from average Spanish cavas: 55% macabeu, 40% paralleda, 5% <a class="read-more" href="https://www.gusclemensonwine.com/vilarnau-brut-cava-nv/">Read More</a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As we savor spring’s sweet kiss, greening grass and trees, eruptions of flowers both wild and garden-grown, our thoughts turn to sipping on the patio, picnicking in the park. Sparkling wine cocktails are ideal for these joys—refreshing, low in alcohol, relatively easy to make. Mimosa is best known: orange juice and sparkling wine.
