Penny was selecting a bottle of Dibon Cava Brut Rosé from our wine rack to give as a thank-you gift to a friend when she suggested we write about Dibon for our October 2023 toast.
We've been enjoying and recommending this wine for more than a decade. We like to call it a budget sparkler with a high-end taste. Back then, it was about $10.00 a bottle. Our latest purchase from Gordon’s Fine Wines was still just $11.99 with the case discount.
We’re not the only ones who recognize the quality of this wine. First, the importer is a company we trust, Oz Wines. Over the years, we’ve enjoyed many wines selected by this team. Seeing the Oz name on a bottle is reason enough for us to try it.
The Winery Bodegas Pinord winemakers describe this rosé cava. They recommend its tiny, delicate bubbles, gentle red fruit aroma, full mouth-feel, and elegant finish. You’ll also notice on their site that it's made from organically grown grapes and is only 11.5% ABV.
Dibon Rosé would be a great toasting wine for a Thanksgiving meal. It has a palate-cleansing freshness we enjoy with food. It also makes an excellent mixer for drinks that call for adding sparkling wine like a mimosa, Aperol spritz, or bellini. One of our favorite wine mentors kept this brand behind the bar for precisely that purpose!
Bonus Recommendation! Dibon also makes an excellent Brut Reserve Cava if that's your toasting preference.
Dibon Cavas are great value wines for toasting, gifting, as mixers, or to have on hand for last-moment celebrations. We regularly add a few bottles to our orders to have on hand all year round,
However, this time of year, consider ordering it by the case. Some shops will offer a discount for as little as six bottles. We suggest calling your favorite wine merchant to ask if they have Dibon Rosé in stock. If they don’t, they can order what you need in time for the holiday season.
Trying wines from different places, made with different grapes and produced by different methods, adds spice to our monthly ritual. Since 2007 we have raised a glass of sparkling wine to greet each new month!
