Bohigas Galda Semi-Seco

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

This sparkling wine from Bohigas is made with Xarel·lo, Macabeu, and Parellada grape varietals, and is vinified at low temperatures, preserving all its incredible notes. It exudes colors of light straw green, and has an ABV of 12%. A very fine and enjoyable drink, the Bohigas Galda Semi-Seco has strong aromas of apple and pear. On the palate, it is energizing and subtly sweet, filled with personality. The bubbles are small and delicate, bursting pleasantly with a sweetness that is gentle and not overpowering.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

Pair this semi-sweet Spanish sparkling Cava with orange juice to make a top-notch mimosa, perfect for your brunches! It’s also great on its own, paired with sheep’s milk cheeses. Try it also with creamy pastas, rice dishes like paella and risotto, and seafood dishes.

FULL STEAM AHEAD, SINCE THE BEGINNING

With more than eight centuries of history, Cavas Bohigas and its estate, Can Macia, has been in the hands of the same family. Passed down through generations, it finds itself in Odena, with 200 hectares of property, more than 35 of which are vineyards.

In 1933, Joan Vives recognized the potential for sparkling wines, and Bohigas has since been making some of the best in the business. Committed to innovation, Cavas Bohigas has not stopped employing technological advancements and methods into their process.

Storage Instructions

Fine sparkling wine must be handled with care. For short-term storage (a few days to a month), you can keep your bottle upright—but away from bright or artificial light. For long-term storage, especially for vintage cuvées, you must store the bottles on their side in a wine rack or cellar to keep the cork from drying out. The ideal temperature for storage is between 7 to 10°C. Once opened, a bottle will be good for 1 to 3 days standing upright in the refrigerator.
