Wine of the week: A Cool Cava in the Heat

The warm weather keeps on coming and in we are having a summer for the ages. In the heat we need to cool down, so the wine of the week is my favourite Cava!

​There is nothing I don’t like about Funambul. I love the name, Funambul, it easy to say and to remember. I love that it means tightrope walker, someone who has to have the right balance all the time or else. Balance, perhaps the most important thing in a wine. I love the elegant and cool label with the small bird perched on the lines running across like the lines on a music score. But most of all I love the wine makers Maria, Fernando and Dani who strive to make the best wines possible always with a friendly and inviting smile to go with their wines.

​We were lucky enough to experience their hospitality when we made a story on their Cava in 2016. There happened to be a birthday party on the day we were there, and we were invited to the best Paella I have ever had, along with generous amounts of Cava. It was a night to remember that’s for sure.

Tasting notes:

​Smells of ocean, lime and baked buns. Great structure and bubbles. The minerality is so, so present in the mouth along with hints of lime. 

​This is a fine cava for food, Paella like I said, or some classic Spanish Tapas. Or just enjoy it cold in a glass on one of these hot summer days.
