2010 Can Feixes Blanc Seleccio - Penedes

The Penedes region of Catalunya is best known for sparkling Cava but the local grapes can make some truly stunning still wines as well. Can Feixes is composed of 40% Parellada, 30% Macabeo, 20% Chardonnay and 10% of the rare Malvasía de Sitges. Like a wine version of a Gin & Tonic, Can Feixes has a bit of quinine-like minerality along with a refreshing blast of lime zest. A nice waft of of floral perfume adds to the complexity of this bright, food friendly white wine.
