The No.23 ‘Expression’ is a lovely classical expression of Cava, a mix of Macabeo and Xarel·lo with all the usual suspects of green apple and lemon with an overall ripeness to the wine, which makes this versatile for many different occasions. Low in alcohol but high in personality, this is a sure-fire winner.

Located in the heart of Penedès, which, for those playing at home, is Cava country, home to the key Spanish wine region for sparkling wines. Cava is typically made from the indigenous varieties, Macabeu, Parellada and Xarel·lo, yet aside from the golden fizz that comes from this region, there is also a host of other varieties that have a home in this part of Spain. Enter Dominio de La Vega, who not only makes exceptional Cava, but also focuses on still wines and, in particular, the local red variety, Bobal. Dominio de La Vega has been making wine in Penedès for over 40 years, with a key focus on Bobal as well as producing various styles of Cava and, of course, a few white wines. Their Bobal is made into several red wine styles, as well as a very delicious rosé. The winery focuses on organic vineyard practices and clean, modern packaging that is sure to draw your attention.
