Spanish & Portuguese Wine News: Funky Mas Codina

By: Joe Manekin | K&L Spanish & Portuguese Wine Buyer

Three words:  Funky MAS CODINA.

When I'm not drinking 2002 Pierre Paillard (man is this stuff good!) our new DI cava, Mas Codina, is a mighty fine, affordable bubbly to have on hand, one of the best I've come across. All estate grown fruit on vineyards that have been cultivated on the same land in the Penedes by the Garrida family since the

Mas Codina Cava Brut Reserva Penedès ($12.99)17th century. Everything is still riddled and disgorged by hand, the dosage is not too high, it is not a sulphur bomb, just beautifully balanced...in short, very well made stuff for a fair price. We may have other cava choices for those who like it dry (Loxarel, Raventos rosé, Agusti Torello Mata), but Mas Codina sure is a good one to have on hand for the season....
