					<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.

					<description><![CDATA[Pale gold color; peaches, flowers on the nose; peach, melon, minerality on the palate. Dry, medium body, crisp, balanced, satisfying.
